Can a 4 year old get urinary tract infection?

Yes, a 4 year old can get a urinary tract infection (UTI). UTIs are caused by bacteria that enter the urethra and travel into the bladder. They are more common in girls than boys, and they can occur at any age, including in young children.

Symptoms of a UTI in a 4 year old may include:

* Frequent urination

* Pain or burning during urination

* Cloudy or foul-smelling urine

* Fever

* Abdominal pain

* Loss of appetite

* Vomiting

If you think your child may have a UTI, it is important to see a doctor right away. UTIs can be treated with antibiotics, which can usually clear up the infection within a few days.

To help prevent UTIs in your child, make sure they are drinking plenty of fluids, and encourage them to urinate frequently. Avoid giving your child sugary drinks, such as soda and juice, as these can increase the risk of UTIs.
