Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are more commonly seen in adult women. Many parents don't believe that children can also develop UTIs, but in reality, pediatric UTIs (especially in infants) are quite common. However, the symptoms in children are not very typical and often manifest as fever, vomiting, abdominal pain, and microscopic hematuria. Experts point out that summer is the peak season for UTIs in young girls. It's crucial to undergo systematic treatment to prevent frequent recurrences, which could damage the child's kidney tissue.
