Worms and UTI

[Kylie89]

Hey need some advice please! I discovered my 3 year old had thread worms Sunday morning at the same time it appeared my daughter had a UTI so was prescribed with antibiotics. I've treated the worms and she's on day 4 of her meds but still complaining about pain when she pee's. This has had an impact on her using the toilet and hasn't successfully used the toilet since Saturday. She holds it in until she just bursts and refuses to get on the toilet... I'm 4 days in and no improvement on this behaviour? It's it worth me taking her back to a doctor and she's still complaining on the pain. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Just to add... this is the first time I've ever dealt with this and she's my only child I didn't even know worms were a thing definitely know now!

Does she look red and sore? Maybe she now has thrush, poor lamb. Or still suffering irritation from the worms. I would take her back, yes. Consider a gentle barrier cream?

Around the start of March my 4 year old DD developed a UTI (I thought) and when I had the phone consult with the GP she prescribed antibiotics, worm medicine and canesten. Basically the GP said she wanted to cover everything in that area.

In the end we ended up having to have an in-person consult as DD was peeing every 20 minutes (and sometimes every 5 minutes) and complaining of pain. GP gave her a stronger thrush cream (daktarin), which solved the pain but the peeing so often too longer but then eventually just stopped.

She doesn't look red or sore and she's been in high spirits throughout no fever no low mood, still eating and drinking as normal just actually going to the toilet is her only problem. So difficult to gage what to do.

She's also not going the toilet often at all, maybe 3 times a day at the moment.

DD was absolutely fine in herself, was bouncing around the GPs office! If DDs issues hadn't cleared up the GP was going to refer to the pediatrician, so maybe something to consider. ( Although we're in Ireland so not sure how referrals work in the UK). I find with kids though,sometimes things just happen and clear up by themselves.
