Hello,

I'm sorry to hear your 4 years old daughter had her gallbladder removed. Hope the diagnosis was really determining this surgery.

The urine analysis is showing urinary tract infection (UTI). That is normal. This UTI explains the presence of blood in urine plus the pain she is feeling.

An abdominal ultrasound is advised to rule out any possible urinary stone.

Follow the doctor's advice and get the UTI treated with antibiotics and cranberry supplement. Increase fluids intake.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
