What Causes Strep In Urine Of A Child?
My 4 yr old daughter had a 104 temp on monday and cried when she went to the bathroom. She also had a tummy ache. Tues i took her to the dr and her throat looked bad and enlarged lymph nodes. The did a UA and sent it for culture. It just came back alpha hemolytic strep. Also her rapid strep was neg. How and why is the strep in her urine? Is it dangerous? Can this cause other sx? Im sure totally unrelated but but now she is complaining of her heal hurting and wont walk on it. Thanks so much.
