What Causes Blood In Urine In Children?
My ten year old son has had a dry cough for about 3 days along with sinus congestion and runny nose. This evening he had a small amount of blood in his urine. I am unsure how urgent medical care is, can I wait till tomorrow to call his doctor and schedule an appointment? What might be some possible causes of these symptoms?

Hello,
Urine with blood or blood after urination? Urine test must be performed to rule out urine infection. Don't take it lightly. It can affect kidneys, if left untreated.
Secondly, it may be reddish urine due to some drug he is taking, just figure it out.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
