Patient's question:
The doctor recently noticed that the child's urine is yellow, but there hasn't been any sign of a heatstroke. However, they want to know if it's caused by a heatstroke.Doctor's answer:
The urine color of a normal person is usually light yellow. It tends to be clearer in cold weather and more yellow in hot weather, which is related to the amount of sweating and drinking water, but it can also change with diet. For example, when consuming an acidic diet, the urine color becomes darker, while a alkaline diet results in lighter urine color. For children, after ruling out the possibility of illness, yellow urine is usually due to dehydration or "internal heat." Drinking more water can typically alleviate this. In summer, you can cook some cooling soups for children, such as mung bean soup.
