My 4 year old niece was at Urgent care last night and the doctor said her urine has 10 wbc in it and no rbc in it. He didn t tell us what the possibilities are, but he did say that it s kidney related and very serious in children her age. Can you tell me what could be wrong with her?
Hi... I hope your name is doing better now. Most of the time Urinary infection is due to improper hygiene painted (in India very common reason being using public toilets). Sometimes an injury in the tract also leads to UTI. It is much more common in females because the Urinary tract is smaller and hence the infection travels easily. You may get the Kidney function tests done. Give her a lot of liquids. Cranberry juice works wonders for this infection. Take care. Wishing her a good health.
