Burning pain while urinating, presence of blood. Remedy?
hi my daughter is 6 and half hears old. she is complaining of when urinating, She says it hurts and burns. I have seen the urine and it looks like there may be a little blood cause it did not look yellow but a little orange. Not real evident. I have had here drink more water so I can see. Do I take her to the emergency room or do I wait for the morning and call her doctor
Hi
Thanks for the query.
Pain while urination often indicates infection. Drinking more fluids is the right step.
The next step is to do urine analysis and culture and treat as per the results.
If she has no fever, abdominal pain or nausea she can be seen by the pediatrician in routine hours
Good luck.
