Hello all. DD is 16 months and had a urine infection about 4 months ago. Last week same symptoms returned (temp kept spiking to nearly 40c, very distressed, tired, etc; with no other obvious cause like cold / flu) so I suspected she had another urine infection. Went to doctor who said she needed a urine sample and gave us a Newcastle urine specimen kit (in essence it's a pad you put in a nappy that soaks up urine that you can then syringe a urine sample from). Phoned up today and spoke to receptionist who said the sample showed 'mixed growths' and that they needed another urine sample to confirm what type of infection she had and that it needed to be obtained mid-flow. How on earth am I going to achieve this with a toddler who isn't at all toilet trained? I'm really worried that she's been suffering with this for nearly a week now and I think the practicalities of getting a 'good' urine sample are really delaying her getting treatment.
