Re: Was Fire Drills now frequent urination

Sheri,

Please make sure it isn¹t a bladder infection... sometimes the only sign is

urgent urination (no pain). Maybe it¹s not that, but if it is it could lead

to long term problems if not treated.

Maybe this is what is going on with my daughter too. She had a die off rash

about 2 weeks ago. Now she is peeing often and sometimes not making it to

the bathroom. I am really upset about this. At first it was only happening

at school so I thought that the change could be to blame but now I wonder if

there is more too it. She has wet herself more this past two weeks than she

has in the past 10 months. What are the estimates as to how long a die off

lasts? Her behavior improved once the sores were gone and so I stopped

giving her Tylenol. Maybe I shouldn't have stopped. Sheri

I suppose that the only way to test this is to cath her, right? She is going to

go ape if we have to do that. Sheri

Sheri,

Would she go in a urine collection cup?

Or if not you could get what they call a ³hat² to put on the potty... it

just collects the urine when they go... it sits on the toilet like an upside

down brimmed hat. You might be able to use it at home and then rush it over

to the doctor/lab when she went.

Or you might be able to use one of those little bags that stick on (they

have them at the hospital lab)... I¹m not sure if that can be done on little

girls... we¹ve done it with little boys but since their machinery is

different, it is an easier maneuver. I guess all you can do is ask. Maybe

there¹s some technique I don¹t know about. I would try to avoid a catheter

if at all possible...

If I am not mistaken it has to be a clean catch sample and that would be

impossible unless she has a catheter inserted. I had to take in to the

doctor once at the instance of her preschool to have her looked at because they

thought that she had a UTI but her ped didn't think that she did and said that

unless she had more symptoms she would not put her though the test. She said to

watch for a fever. Well has never had a fever. She has never had a cold

so I am not sure that would be an indicator.

I had thought that it was due to being in school for the first time but since

I am noticing that he has to go a lot more often at home and she is now not

making it at home either, I have to wonder.
