Urinary Tract Infections
Services - Illness
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common in young children. Normal urine has no germs (bacteria). However, bacteria can get into the urinary tract and may an infection. At Little Spurs Pediatric Urgent Care we are able to evaluate and treat urinary tract infections.
Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are important because untreated or repeated infections can cause long-term medical problems. Bring your child to Little Spurs if you suspect that they have a UTI.
