Patient's question:
Patient Age: Seven and a half monthsCondition Description: My baby is seven and a half months old. He is a boy. A few days ago, he might have caught a cold. Now he always urinates, but each time it's just a little bit. He does it many times a day. Sometimes he urinates, and sometimes he doesn't. When he does, it's not much. I feel like he always holds back some of it. Sometimes it's just a drop at a time.
Treatment History and Effect: No treatment has been given. It was noticed two days ago.
Help Needed: I want to ask if this is because of a cold? What treatment should be taken?
Doctor's answer:
Hello: Generally speaking, if the baby has symptoms of incomplete urination, it is likely due to urethral infection and inflammation. Additionally, it may be related to excess internal heat and catching a cold.Advice: Observe the baby's condition. If there are no symptoms of redness or swelling in the genital area, it may be due to catching a cold. Pay attention to keeping the baby warm and adjusting the indoor temperature to be moderate.
In your case, it is recommended to have the child tested for a urinalysis. If the results are normal, there is no need to worry, and it will usually improve over time. If there is an inflammatory infection, it is important to seek treatment promptly to prevent it from worsening.
