Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common in children, but they can go unnoticed. That’s because UTI symptoms in children can be hard to spot — especially in babies and young children who can’t yet describe how they’re feeling. A UTI in kids can happen when germs get into the urinary system or “tract.” A UTI usually isn’t cause for concern — most kids get one at some point. But our pediatric urologists at Nemours Children's can help if your child’s symptoms become more troublesome than usual or they keep getting a UTI (called a “recurrent UTI,” “recurring UTI” or “chronic UTI”).
