Urinary tract infections (UTIs) affect your urinary tract, including your bladder (cystitis), urethra (urethritis) or kidneys (kidney infection). UTIs may be treated with antibiotics, but they’re not always needed.
Symptoms of a UTI may includes:
- Pain or a burning sensation when peeing (dysuria)
- Needing to pee more often than usual during the night (nocturia)
- Blood in your pee
- A high temperature, or feeling hot and shivery
Children with UTIs may also:
- Have a high temperature – your child is feeling hotter than usual if you touch their neck, back or tummy
- Appear generally unwell – babies may be irritable and not feed properly
- Wet the bed or wet themselves
