My 2 year old daughter tells me that it hurts when she pees?

Question

My 2 1/2 year old daughter told me that it hurts when she pees. I had test strips at home. I gave her one. The result in the first two minutes was very pale, it tended to purple being "positive", but extremely light. The negative was yellow (leukocytes). As it dried, it became clearly purple. I don't see the description I put in, my two year old daughter tells me it hurts when she pees while crying and holding it in. She doesn't have any redness in her genitals. I did a home test and it was extremely pale (towards purple color of leukocytes, while negative is yellow). Afterwards the test was purple after 4 minutes. On the test it says read in two minutes.

Hello Mrs., Unfortunately, the strip test does not indicate much. However, given that your daughter is complaining of pain when urinating, you should indeed consult a doctor. You can try the Rendez-vous Santé Québec platform to get an appointment, or a platform like Bonjour Santé for a fee. Sincerely, Tom Samaha, pharmacist
