Hi,

Can you mention how the infection was diagnosed? Is there any itching or discharge from or discolouration over vulva/vagina? For diagnosing urine infection, culture is the best test. Usually here, urination is not only frequent, but painful or burning too. There can be fever and lower abdominal pain also.

If frequency persists after treating urine infection, we have to look for other causes like candidiasis, worm infestation or excessive water intake. Kindly get back to your pediatrician if the symptoms persists despite limiting excess fluid intake

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
