Patient's question:
Recently, my 3-year-old child's urine has always been yellow and has a strange odor. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Don't know if the child has been suffering from an internal heat recently? I don't know what kind of odor you're referring to—is it the smell of ammonia, the smell of rotten apples, or something else. Some diseases can cause changes in urine odor. For example, diabetic patients may have a sweet smell in their urine, while patients with diabetic ketoacidosis may have a rotten apple smell. Patients with urinary tract infections or kidney failure may have an ammonia smell, and patients with organophosphate poisoning may have a garlic-like smell! It's recommended that you go to the hospital for a check-up.
