My 19 Month Old Toddler Boy Cries When He Urinates

by Carmen Arias

Can a toddler have a UTI? My 19mnth old son cries when he urinates.

Baby Help Line Response:

Hi Carmen!

Even if it is not that common, especially for boys, toddlers can certainly have a urinary tract infection (UTI)

In addition to pain when peeing other signs can be an urge to pee often, a foul odor and/or dark color of the urine, trouble sleeping, fever, and being irritable.

It can be quite tricky when it comes to babies and toddlers to know if they really have a UTI just analyzing their symptoms, since they can vary so much.

I definitely think you should take your son to a doctor.

Hope this helps!
