Brief Answer:
I don't think this requires a doctor consultation right away

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX ..I don't think this requires a doctor consultation right away. But if I were your pediatrician I would suggest you to get a urine routine analysis done and get back.

My suggestions for you -
1. Get a urine routine analysis along with urinary nitrites.
2. Take a photograph or PDF and upload the image here in this website to me.

I will suggest you what to do next.
