Patient's question:
My son is only one year old this year, but I've noticed he's quite strange. Every time he has a bowel movement, there's a very strong odor, and his urine is always yellow. Normally, children who don't eat much snacks wouldn't have this kind of situation again. I'm worried about what illness it could be.What kind of assistance is needed: Hello, my son is 13 months old, and his urine is yellow. What should I do?
Doctor's answer:
There are several reasons why urine can be yellow. Drinking less water can make urine appear yellow; strenuous activity, poor rest, or consuming many spicy and greasy foods that easily cause digestive issues can also make urine yellow; abnormal liver or kidney function can lead to yellow urine; taking certain medications can cause urine to turn yellow, such as B vitamins; urinary tract infections can also result in yellow urine. It is recommended that you get a thorough check-up to confirm the cause. Hope this helps.
