He explained what the tests were for (yes, uti and blood cell count) and it all seemed necessary then. I've just never heard of this happening to any of my friends' kids. </p> <p>Yes, getting that urine was indeed a PITA. He wouldn't pee for 15 minutes! I ran his feet under warm water and he went! Haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blood-and-urine-test-for-a-fever#post-1079509 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 13:04:55 +0000 HLK208 1079509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaChin: I don't think so. Probably to rule out a UTI for urine. E had the same test at 11 months old when we couldn't figure out what was wrong (high fever for 4 days). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blood-and-urine-test-for-a-fever#post-1079505 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 13:03:54 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1079505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have asked to hold off on the urine before just because its such a PITA to do. I can see why the blood though maybe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blood-and-urine-test-for-a-fever#post-1079500 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 13:02:34 +0000 JoJoGirl 1079500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They're just testing for infection - blood infection (sepsis) and UTI probably for urine? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blood-and-urine-test-for-a-fever#post-1079496 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 13:01:41 +0000 MamaChin 1079496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>N has had a fever, intermittent vomiting and mild diarrhea since Monday. I spoke to the doctor on Monday and he said to monitor him for 24 hours, by Tuesday he kept most of his food down and seemed to be getting better so I didn't bother bringing him to the pediatrician. This morning (Wednesay) his fever was 104 and he threw up the ounce of formula he drank so I immediately called the doctor and brought him in shortly after. His fever had broken by the time we got checked and he seemed ok but the doctor wanted to do a CBC and urine analysis. The tests came back fine but I've never of blood and urine tests for a fever? Especially on a ten month old with no prior health issues. At the time I just wanted to hear my baby was ok so I didn't think much of it but now I think that's kind of excessive. Does that seem excessive to you? </p>
