Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.

In this age it is not usual to have UTIs and you should do tests to rule out some urinary disorders in children such as vesocoureteral reflux or urogenital anomalies so i suggets to do cystography for a start and then it can be appropriately treated. However, if there wont be recurrent infections then it may have been just sporadic UTI.

I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
