Most toddlers require more frequent urination than adults. This is due to a child’s bladder being smaller than an adult’s and possible lower levels of muscle control. Additionally, kids who consume a lot of liquids may need to urinate more frequently than usual. Consult the questionnaire above if your child experiences any pain while urinating, starts to urinate more frequently than usual without a discernible increase in fluid intake, needs to urinate more than once every hour, or wakes up multiple times during the night to urinate. The majority of urinary issues require medical evaluation and care.
Color of urine and what should be done.
Pink, red, or smoky
There is a chance that there may be blood in the urine, which could be caused by an infection or another condition of the urinary system, even though red food coloring, whether natural or artificial, can cause such discoloration.
What should be done
Do not wait to see your doctor. In order to provide a precise prognosis, he or she might need to collect urine and blood samples for testing. The fundamental issue will dictate the course of treatment.
Dark yellow or orange
Urine can turn dark due to concentration brought on by low fluid consumption, fever, diarrhea, or vomiting.
What should be done
There is no reason to be concerned about this. As soon as the fluid intake is increased, the color of your child’s urine will return to normal. Consult your doctor if your kid exhibits any additional symptoms, such as a fever.
Clear and dark brown
If your child’s stools are very pale in color and their skin or eyes appear yellow, hepatitis (a liver infection) may be the reason for the jaundice.
What should be done
Consult your doctor. In order to make a certain prognosis, he or she will collect blood and urine samples for analysis. The fundamental issue will dictate the course of treatment.
Green or blue
It’s highly likely that artificial coloring in food or medication is the cause.
What should be done
The coloring will pass through the body without having an adverse impact, so there is no need to be worried.
