Question
MY 2YR OLD DAUGHTER IS CONSTANTLY COMPLAINING ON PAIN IN HER STOMACH (6 MONTHS OR SO). SHE RECENTLY WAS TREATED FOR A UTI (SHE'S POTTY TRAINED). THE UTI CLEARED UP, BUT SHE'S STILL COMPLAINING OF STOMACH PAIN, BACK PAIN, AND SLIGHT DISCOMFORT WHEN URINATING. THE DOCTOR SCHEDULED A RENAL ULTRASOUND DUE TO THE ABOVE COMPLAINTS. MY DAUGHTER ALSO HAS PROBLEMS WITH HER BOWEL MOVEMENTS, SHE GOES AND IT IS EVERY 2-3 DAYS AND HURTS WHEN SHE DOES. IF THIS TEST DOESN'T SHOW ANYTHING IS THERE ANY OTHER TESTS THAT I SHOULD REQUEST THAT MY DAUGHTERS DOCTOR RUN?
Answer
A UTI in a child less than 5 years of age should not be ignored and an underlying kidney defect should be ruled out. An ultrasound of the kidneys should be done.
