Let me preface with this is probably nothing too serious.

But as a mom you are probably freaked out as I would be.

Bacteria in the urine is most likely a UTI. I honestly have no idea why she would generally smell "weird" but a UTI is OK and will go away w/ treatment *most of the time*.

I know of someone who had so many UTIs and kidney infections that they had surgery, but they never had a kidney problem long term.

Your physician can run a kidney function test to better understand renal function- this should tell you what is up. I bet 99% that it is fine.

Hopefully it's a UTI that clears up soon.

((hugs)) to you. I understand that this is no trivial matter and I pray that your darling is just fine...

There are a lot of other things too... if you do not feel satisfied or are still anxious, you should move forward with referrals to a urologist.

PS. I always have a trace amount of bacteria in my urine... that is normal for me... I don't treat it... it could be that your daughter is OK with this.

How is your physician treating this? or Is he?
