My 3-year-old child is complaining of pain in his penis. We are in the process of potty training. How can we know if it is an infection?

If your 3-year-old child is complaining of pain in the penis while in the process of potty training, it is important to be aware that urinary infections are rare in young boys. However, symptoms of a urinary infection in children may include pain while urinating, fever, cloudy or foul-smelling urine. It is recommended to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and possibly a urine analysis to confirm the infection.
