What Causes Pinkish Tint After Urinating?

I have a 2 1/2 year old daughter and once yesterday and once again just now, she urinated and everything seemed fine until we wiped her, then we noticed a pinkish tint on the toilet paper. She hasn t said it burns and the urine in the toilet looks normal too. Not sure what is going on. She has been drinking maybe a little more than normal today, other than that nothing out of the norm...

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for posting on healthcaremagic. Urinary tract infections are often asymptomatic in children. The pinkish discoloration ofurine could be due to blood due to UTI. Please get her urine tested for routine examination and culture. If the results come negative, you can relax.
