blood in urine??

Dont bother going if you dont have a sample...they wont give your little one anything until they can determine if it is a UTI or some other infection.
My DD#2 has had it for a few days, we finally got a sample the other day and took it too Drs - there was blood in urine too....she on AB now.
Good luck !

Actually, mbear, that's not the best advice. If you are unsure whether it is blood in the urine or not, I agree, you should at least be seen in ED. They might send you away again, but at least you will be assessed, and they will probably help you get a urine sample that they can do a preliminary urinalysis on there and then.

And you need all the help you can get to get a urine sample from an infant! A sticky bag from drs definately helps.

ok, well we just got home! they put a sticky bag on him and got a sample, i was seen to pretty quickly, no signs of infection, but definately blood in urine.
could be one of three things they said, possibly from overexertion at swimming yesterday, or dehydration, they have told me to start giving him water everyday , or it could be some ther thing where if they get sick for some reason they get blood in their urine, aparantley very common and nothing to worry about, but i have all his blood test results and they are doing a culture and will follow it all up with the gp soon as possible.
pfew!! crisis over!! I think I need a lie down now....
