Hi, Diarrhoea with UTI can occur in children due to E.Coli infection. It requires good antibiotic coverage and continuous hydration and monitoring of vitals. Since the child has not passed enough urine, this could be start of hypovolemic state due to diarrhoeal state and excess water and electrolyte loss. I suggest you consult a pediatrician asap to rule out Pre renal AKI due to hypovolemia as the child might require admission and intravenous hydration and antibiotics. If he has blood in urine and and other sighs also, he might be having Hemolytic Uremic syndrome(HUS). His condition can drastically deteriorate. So consult a doctor asap.
Thanks and regards.
