Urinary tract infections or UTIs can happen to anyone, from infants to adults. UTI in infants does not cause death, but if it is treated too late, it is not uncommon for this UTI to cause several complications and affect the quality of life of the little one. For this reason, parents should not ignore any signs of UTI in babies.

According to a pediatrician at Eka Hospital Pekanbaru, dr. Buntat Huang, Sp. A explained that UTI is a condition where bacteria or germs grow in the urinary tract. While regarding the causes and symptoms, dr. Buntat said that depends on the age of the child.

Signs of UTI in infants under one month old are the appearance of fever, vomiting, diarrhea, refusing to breastfeed, urinating a little, and being fussy. In children aged 1-12 months, the signs of a UTI that can be recognized are not much different, but they tend to have difficulty gaining or decreasing weight until they fail to thrive

. "While in older children, such as the age of 1-4 years, the characteristics of a UTI include fever which causes seizures, vomiting. , diarrhea, and can even be found without symptoms,” explained dr. butt.

UTIs without symptoms are usually what parents rarely realize. Asymptomatic UTIs are characterized by a child's weight loss, decreased appetite, and an easier time getting sick. dr. Buntat suggested that if you find signs of a UTI as mentioned above, you should immediately check your little one's condition. This follow-up examination includes urine examination by urine culture method.

"Through urine culture we culture the germs, at the same time we look for antibiotics that are sensitive to growing germs," ​​added dr. butt.
