One of the main problems that is associated with childhood enuresis, are infections. These infections affect 3% in girls and 1% in boys, but on several occasions they are not detected properly, since the symptoms of the infection are not very clear.

An expert of the Infant Urology unit of the Casa de Salud Hospital in Valencia, provides us with the keys to know if the child can present a urinary infection, lack of appetite and not acquiring the right weight are obvious symptoms of a possible infection always Enuresis is present. An infection can present a certain severity, it can be a cystitis, in this case it would not be something serious, or on the contrary it could be a kidney infection, this if it would present more seriousness. We cannot know which of the two it is, but we do know that both infections have the same symptoms and in front of them it is highly recommended to go to the specialist and not let it run.
Both types of infection are treated in the same way, with antibiotics, but they should always be prescribed by specialists. If a child has enuresis, it is best to check that the symptoms we have indicated before do not occur, any health problem of our children can always be aggravated if we do not detect it in time.
