Suggest Treatment For Bladder Infection In Children

My toddler has a bladder infection--can t urinate or has severe pain. Three weeks ago was the first time she complained about it. It went away. Now she has it again. She also has a white discharge. What is the white discharge? She is potty trained. We took away the bubble bath. Drinking lots of liquids and eating yogurt with live culture. What else can we do.

Hi...These are the ways you can prevent urinary infection recurrent -

1. Avoid diapers
2. Lot of oral liquids
3. Do not leave her without an undergarment to play around
4. Any fever evaluate for urinary infection
5. Wash the genitalia with soap and water during bath daily
6. Stop tub bath
7. Do not use antibiotics unless urinary infection is proven by urine culture
