Patient's question:
The child is now 100 days old, male, with slightly yellow urine—is there any issue? How can it be improved?First follow-up question: Are there no other abnormalities? The child is fed with formula milk, breast milk, and puffed rice cereal, as well as apples—the kind called Red Delicious apples, which are red and crispy. There’s nothing else. Regarding jaundice, the face isn’t yellow, but the body is a bit darker.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, if your baby has very yellow urine, it is mostly due to less water intake, which leads to concentrated urine. However, if the yellow urine persists for a long time, it is necessary to rule out whether there are liver or biliary system diseases that reduce the excretion of bilirubin in the intestines or increase the production of bilirubin, causing more bilirubin to be excreted in the urine. You can give your child more water between meals, and the mother's diet should also be light, avoiding spicy, irritating, and greasy foods, which can help improve the child's yellow urine condition.
