Does High Fever And UTI With Back Pain Indicate A Bladder Or Kidney Infection?

My daughter has had a very high fever it's been running around 103, 104. We just found out that she has a UTI but also has alarmingly high nitrates in her urine. She is 3 1/2. She had an issue in September with extreme back pain and high fevers. At that time we were told she has a bladder and kidney infection.... I'm worried this is not a normal UTI

i have studied your case. In child a uti can cause all these symptoms. But uti is not very common in this age, i would recommend you to get ultrasound to find out if her kidney and ureter are normal. In a disease called vesicouretral reflux, backflow of urine can cause such infection. You can consult with a peaediatric surgeon in your area. Till that time you should increase her water and fruit juice intake, avoid pain killers.
