Her mom states that this started 3 weeks ago and she had gone thru different shoes to see if that made a difference. Her mom is going to see how it goes over the next week and take her to see her regular pediatrician.

Thanks for your input....

P.S. She has a history of urinary tract infections.
If she has frequent urinary tract infections that would or could account for the white cells....

Because some doctors expect everyone else to be stupid? Sigh.

I'd be inclined to see the regular doctor as well. Waiting a few more days isn't going to make that big of a deal and her doctor knows any and all problems she's had thus far.
