Can UTI In A Four Year Old Cause Severe Pain In The Crown Of Head?

my 4 year old has been complaining and grabbing the crown of her head for the past 4 days of a headach, it wasn t real bad the first 2 days (no crying) , then the 3rd day no complaints, 4th day she was holding the crown of her head and crying because it was hurting. I took her to the dr right away. As soon as we got to the dr she vomited. The dr told me that she was probably getting the headaches from a UTI? She previously had a UTI and they are going to do a culture on her again to see if it is still there. Is this common with a UTI/4year old? What can make her better? She seems to be getting worse!

Hi,
Any infection in body may give rise fever, headache and body ache.
In Acute UTI there can be having this type of headache.
In report if UTI is positive then with antibiotic medicine treatment within few days she will feel better after infection subsided.
Meanwhile give her paracetamol or ibuprofen for fever and headache as required.
Give her plenty of water and liquids and keep her well hydrated which help in headache and uti for flushing of infection.
Ok and take care.
