Toddler loss of bladder control

Toddler loss of bladder control

My sister is inquiring about my 4 year old niece.  For the past 2 weeks she has been weak and has had no appetite.  What is concerning is that she has been potty trained since the age of 2 and the last 4 days has urinated in her underwear which she says she didn't know she had to go.  Took her in for a urine cult which came back negative.  Any ideas of what could be causing this?

Is she troubled about something? Maybe something happened at her nursery? Or could she have witnessed something disturbing?

When a toddler does these things, the first thing to rule out is some sort of mental trauma.

Good luck and hope she gets better soon.

Any fever or other symptoms? Did the Dr. do anything else like a CBC? I remember when I was a little girl I didn't even really know I was sick, but I lost bladder control during a nap. It turned out I has pneumonia, but didn't have a cough from it. My friend's son also had pneumonia with no symptoms but fever, and not feeling right. A CBC would reveal if the body is fighting any type of infection. If this reveals nothing, then the Dr. should examine the possibility of a neurological cause for the loss of control.
