UTI Symptoms in Adults and Kids
A UTI is an infection anywhere in the urinary tract, most often the bladder. Adults usually know something is wrong. Young kids often cannot tell you.
Teens and Adults
- Burning or pain when peeing
- A sudden, strong urge to go
- Peeing often, sometimes only a little at a time
- Cloudy, bloody or strong-smelling urine
- Pressure or pain low in the belly
Babies and Kids
- A fever, sometimes with no other signs
- Belly pain
- New accidents or bedwetting after being dry
- Foul-smelling urine
- Crying or complaining when peeing
- In babies: fussiness, poor feeding or vomiting
In babies and toddlers, a fever with no clear cause may be the only clue. That is why we often check urine when a young child has a fever. Learn more on our fever care page.
UTIs happen when bacteria, often from the bowel, get into the urinary tract. Women and girls get them more often because the tube that carries urine out is shorter. Holding pee, constipation and not drinking enough can make them more likely.
What Happens at Your Visit
- A urine test right here in the clinic, so you get first results during your visit.
- For kids in diapers or still learning to use the potty, your provider will walk you through the best way to collect a clean sample.
- Antibiotics when an infection is confirmed or likely, chosen to fit your age and symptoms.
- A urine culture when needed. It shows which bacteria are growing and which antibiotics work against them. Results take a few days, and we call you if treatment needs to change.
- Tips to ease the burning and a clear plan for what to watch for at home.
- Follow-up advice for young kids, since a first UTI with fever may need a check with their pediatrician and sometimes a kidney ultrasound.
Some symptoms that feel like a UTI turn out to be something else, like irritation from soaps or bubble baths in young girls. The urine test helps sort it out.
Grown-ups get UTIs too, and you can be seen in the same trip as your kids. See what else we treat on our adult urgent care page.
How to Help Prevent UTIs
Not every UTI can be prevented, but these habits help lower the odds:
- Drink enough water through the day so you pee regularly.
- Do not hold it. Go when you need to, and take time to empty the bladder fully.
- Girls and women: wipe from front to back after using the toilet.
- Keep stools soft. Constipation makes UTIs more likely in kids, so offer water, fruits, vegetables and fiber.
- Skip bubble baths and scented soaps for young girls, since they can irritate the skin and cause burning.
- Choose cotton underwear, and change out of wet swimsuits soon after swimming.
- Adults: pee soon after sex.
- Take every dose of antibiotic, even after you feel better.
When a UTI Reaches the Kidneys
A bladder infection can move up to the kidneys. A kidney infection needs prompt care, so come in the same day if you notice:
Fever and Chills
A UTI with fever is more likely to involve the kidneys, especially in young kids.
Back or Side Pain
Aching in the back or side, just below the ribs, often on one side only.
Nausea and Vomiting
Feeling sick to the stomach or throwing up, which can make it hard to keep medicine down.
Pregnant with UTI symptoms? UTIs in pregnancy need prompt treatment, so call your OB or get seen the same day. The same goes for anyone with diabetes or a weak immune system.
Go to the ER or call 911 if:
- There is a high fever with back or side pain and vomiting
- You or your child cannot keep fluids or medicine down
- You are pregnant and have UTI symptoms with a fever
- A baby younger than 3 months has a temperature of 100.4°F or higher
- Someone seems very sick, confused or hard to wake

Schedule AppointmentUTI FAQs
Can you test for a UTI the same day?
Yes. We test urine onsite, so you get first results during your visit. When a urine culture is needed, those results take a few days, and we call you if anything changes.
Do you treat UTIs in kids?
Yes. PediSTAT is led by a board-certified pediatrician, and we treat UTIs in babies, kids, teens and adults. Babies younger than 3 months with a fever of 100.4°F or higher should go to the ER right away.
How fast do antibiotics work for a UTI?
Most people start to feel better within a day or two. Finish every dose, even once you feel well. Call us if you or your child still has a fever after 2 days of antibiotics, or if symptoms get worse.
Can a UTI go away on its own?
Do not count on it. An untreated UTI can spread to the kidneys, and kids should always be checked. A quick urine test gives you an answer.
Why did you send a urine culture?
A culture grows the bacteria from your urine sample to show what is causing the infection and which antibiotics work against it. If the results show a different medicine would work better, we call you.
Do you take my insurance?
Yes. PediSTAT Urgent Care is in network with TRICARE, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Humana and Curative. We do not accept Medicaid, CHIP, Medicare or Community Health Choice. Paying yourself? Our transparent self-pay prices are listed on our Prices page.
