Age of the child, duration of complaint, number of episodes of uti and if associated with increased thirst or any other complaints was not mentioned. Please measure her urine output over 24 hours. If its more than 4ml/kg/hr, its polyuria and needs further investigations. Even otherwise, for recurrent uti,she needs to be investigated. Please consult a pediatrician as it requires detailed history and physical assessment.
