Should I go and see a doctor since she doesn't have all the atypical symptoms of a UTI?

Question

My 4 year old daughter has a urinary infection, I hesitate to go to the emergency room? She only has small urination at short intervals and tells me that she has the urge to urinate but her pee doesn't want to come out. She has no temperature, no burning when she urinates, no strong odor.

Hello, It is always recommended to consult your doctor when you suspect a urinary tract infection in your child. This situation requires the prescription of an antibiotic and sometimes further tests. If your daughter complains of back pain or has chills or fever, it is important to go to the emergency room.
