Aadya Miller is a 3-year-old girl...
Aadya Miller is a 3-year-old girl who loves preschool and dancing. She lives with her parents and a new baby brother, born just two months ago. Over the past two days, Aadya has been unusually fussy, crying during diaper changes, and refusing to drink her milk. Her parents noticed her urine had a strong smell. They were initially worried her behavior was jealousy over the new baby. At her pediatrician's office, Dr. Lee listened carefully. Aadya had a low-grade fever and winced when her lower belly was gently pressed. Dr. Lee recommended a simple urine test using a catheter to get a clean sample, explaining it was the most accurate way to diagnose a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) in a toddler not yet potty-trained. The procedure was quick, and Aadya cried from the surprise and discomfort, but was comforted immediately by her mother. She was prescribed a course of liquid antibiotics. Within 48 hours, Aadya was back to her cheerful self, drinking well and playing. Her parents felt a mix of guilt for not realizing sooner and immense relief that it was a treatable infection, not a sign of her struggling with the new family dynamic. Their emotional journey moved from anxiety and self-doubt to reassurance and gratitude for a clear solution.
