Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
These signs go with a urinary tract infection or cystitis (infection of the urinary bladder). You are therefore advised to do urine tests (analysis and culture) to decide on the right treatment, which is usually a 10-14 day course of oral antibiotics.
Another closely related possible explanation is that of constipation: if your daughter has been constipated for a while (passing hard stools, or passing stools only every few days), then there's the likelihood of fecal loading, whereby the stools accumulate along the colon. As such, the colon pushes against the bladder and this gives a sensation of urinary urgency (the need to pee) but still passing small amounts of urine because the bladder is not full. Additionally, as the colon pushes on the bladder, the urine may stagnate inside which increases the risk of urine infection. Treating constipation (plenty of water, high fiber diet, exercise) goes hand in hand with treating the urine infection if these occur concomitantly.
If the urine grows bacteria, you may also want to make sure that your daughter is following proper hygiene measures when using the toilet: some children may inadvertently introduce fecal material into the urine opening (they wipe their behind and proceed forward). So you need to teach her to always wipe that area from the front and then move backwards.
