Could It Be a UTI?

My 19month old daughter developed a high fever without flu symptoms. Her fevers were as high as 103. We took to the ER twice and she was misdiagnosed. We took her home with antibiotics for ear infections! However, her fevers continued. Finally we took her to the ER again, and the pediatrician on call decided to test her urine. She tested positive for a UTI. It¿s been 7 days with fever, chills pain.

my son had really strong urine smell so i looked it up online and symptoms pointed to bladder infection even though its common on girls i asked doctor if it could be that he said some newborns just have strong smell but i told him i had looked online he said well lets get a uti culture done just in case and turns out i was right he was hospitalized for a week and know again he has a strong smell and starting to become very fussy i hope its not a uti again.

My daughter was diagnosed with urinary reflux when she was 10 months. SHe had a sudden fever and no other symptoms along with that fever, not even motrin was working for her. I took her to her pediatrician, I was called back with the urine results stating her urine #'s were high, so he decided to have her get an ultrasound and an x-ray which then confirmed she has reflun stage 3, she has been on antibiotics since and will get re-checked in July

(con't)They were checking for kidney reflux which can be very bad if left untreated.It came back normal. But each dr that we came in contact with emphasized how impt it is to get your child checked out if there is a high fever with no other symptoms.

When my daughter was 6 months old, she came down with a high fever where she was shaking uncontrollably, but she had no other symptoms that we noticed.We took her to the ER & they checked her for a few things & insisted on doing blood work & a urine culture.We were freaking out bc they wanted to do iv antibiotics bc her fever was 104.3.Her urine test came back + with really high numbers.Our ped scheduled a renal ultrasound & kidney radioactive dye test.

My baby also was hospitalized for three days with a kidney infection at 11 weeks. They found he has a condition called kidney reflux, where urine pushes back into the kidneys causing constant infection. He is on prophylactic antibiotics.

Thank you for the info Julie

This can be very serious if not given the proper treatment right away. She started with a UTI that was not diagnosed quickly enough (even though I had mentioned the strong urine odor and frequent urination...along with a fever of 103). The infection ended up going to her kidneys and then to her bloodstream. She was in the hospital for a week with an antibiotic IV drip. If you suspect UTI, insist on a urine culture or to start antibiotics right away.
