The urine findings of RBCs should match symptoms and signs in the child. If there are no symptoms, usually no need to worry. RBCs in urine is common and often harmless in children.

Most common cause would be an UTI.
But sometimes can be transient phenomenon in children.
USG should also be done to rule out other causes.
Kindly consult online/ pediatrician nearby for detailed discussion
Next Steps
Plenty of oral fluids

Usually a brief history is needed about the child whether child had fever / infections/ trauma / grossly visible blood in urine.
So mostly in children it will be transient and no need to worry .
Plenty of fluids should be given.
If any reason is found it should treated appropriately.
