Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
It is common for girl babies to get urinary tract infection.
Increased frequency of urination can occur with infection.
It could be also due to increased water intake or exposure to cold weather or ac use.
Get urine tested for complete examination and culture.
If positive she may require antibiotics.
Wishing your child speedy recovery

Dr Arun
