With blood in the urine, it indicates that there is an infection somewhere along the urinary tract. It could be a kidney infection or bladder infection. Blood can also indicate a possible injury to the genitals. It is important to ask questions to your child to find out if anything did occur.
If the urine culture comes back normal, I would have a scan of your child's genitals to find out if there is an injury. I'm not sure if you have a little girl or boy but boys can get urethritis, which can also have drops of blood or mucus.
Good luck
