How Can Stomach Skin Discoloration With Urinary Infrequency Be Treated?
my 2.5 year old has yellowish skin tone to her stomach area, she is prone to having episodes where she doesnt get to toilet for a wee in time lasts a few days with many accidents yet other times she can tell us with pleanty of notice this is the norm. she has had a temp of 37.6 - 37.8 with no other sypmtoms of illness this has happened a few times before and can last upto 5 days. I was thinking would a urine infection cause all of this or could it be more serious.

Hi,
Yellowish discolouration of the skin might be a symptom of jaundice or hepatitis. I suggest that you get her evaluated by a paediatrician if she has got jaundice and then we can proceed, please.
Even if it is an infection it could be a hepatotropic viral infection causing Viral hepatitis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
