Symptoms of tract urinary infection
To know whether you need to visit your doctor, look for symptoms of urinary tract infection:
- Discomfort, pain, or burning while urinating
- Abdominal pressure or cramping
- Frequent urination
- Urge to urinate even with an empty bladder
- Low fever
- Cloudy or bloody urine
If children develop urinary tract infections, they may not be able to tell you what they are feeling. To know if your child has a urinary tract infection, look for:
- Change in color, smell, or frequency of urination
- Crying or fussing, especially while urinating
- Unexplained fever
- Vomiting
- Change in appetite
If left untreated, a UTI can affect your kidneys, a dangerous infection known as pyelonephritis. Symptoms of pyelonephritis include:
- Pain in your back or pelvis
- Cloudy or foul-smelling urine
- Blood in your urine
- Chills, fever, or uncontrollable shivering
- Nausea or vomiting
