"I suspect that my 3-year-old daughter has a urinary tract infection. Should I go to the hospital for a test or visit the pharmacy?"

If you suspect that your 3-year-old daughter has a urinary tract infection, it is best to take her to see a doctor instead of going to the pharmacy. The symptoms of a urinary tract infection can be uncomfortable for your daughter, and it is important for her to receive a proper evaluation and treatment from a healthcare professional. Only a doctor can prescribe antibiotics for a urinary tract infection in young children, so it is essential to seek medical attention for your daughter. In the meantime, you can give her over-the-counter pain relief medication to help alleviate her discomfort, but this should not replace a medical consultation.
