What should I do if my child has pain when urinating?

When your child encounters pain when urinating, you should consider that it may be caused by urinary tract stones. Does it seem incredible that a child has stones? However, according to experts, in most cases, babies' urinary tract stones are caused by "diseases from the mouth." Unscientific diet and lifestyle are the main reasons, so it is very necessary for you to understand them in detail so that you can avoid them in your future life.

1. Excessive intake of protein and salt: Many young patients usually have a "special liking" for meat, and their taste is heavy. In addition, if you eat too much chocolate and milk and drink too little water, you may form stones over time.

2. Preference for oxalic acid beverages: If babies often drink beverages rich in oxalic acid, the incidence of oxalic acid stones can be greatly increased.

3. Excessive use of calcium supplements: Many parents blindly believe in advertisements and give their children calcium supplements at will, which causes their children's blood calcium to be high and the calcium concentration in their urine to increase, increasing the risk of stones.

What to do if your baby has urinary tract stones

1. Avoid excessive protein and salt intake for your baby, and also avoid eating too much of the following foods: tomatoes, spinach, celery, beets, chocolate, and soy products. These foods are rich in calcium and oxalate, which will increase the incidence of oxalate stones over time.

2. Let your baby drink more water and add appropriate amount of soda water. This is the key to preventing stones. When feeding water, be sure to give it in small amounts and multiple times.

3. Let your baby exercise more. Proper exercise can promote the excretion of stones. Children aged 2 and above can try jumping movements accompanied by their parents.

4. Be careful not to let your baby take too much vitamin D to prevent calcium and phosphorus precipitation from forming stones.

In addition to these reasons, a small number of children have urinary system malformations, which may also induce kidney stones. Therefore, parents should pay attention to timely medical treatment and prescribe the right medicine. In addition, it is best not to panic when children encounter these phenomena, because they can be adjusted, as long as they pay attention to it in the future life.
