Could Kidney Infection Lead To Painful Urination In A Child?

My 3 year old daughter had a kidney infection last year. Doctor said it wouldn't return. I find now she screams when she wee's and doesn't want to go wee. She is also not really drinking much, some days only 250ml.. Luckily there is no fever and the wee looks clear. Should I be concerned?

Good Day and thank you for being with Healthcare Magic!

Yes I will be concerned and I will get urine samples tested for possibly another bout of UTI. If your child has another episode of UTI then she may need to have an UTZ of the kidneys and possibly a VCUG to rule out reflux. Reflux of urine to the kidney may cause kidney damage and scarring and should be diagnosed as early as possible.

I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications at: http://www.HealthcareMagic.com/doctors/dr-manuel-c-see-iv/66014 I would gladly help you. Best wishes.
