Why is the child's urine white?

How unimportant children are in people’s eyes nowadays! Having children is a troublesome issue nowadays, so having a little baby in the family is the pride of the family. The issue of white urine in children also makes many parents very worried and afraid. Children’s immunity is relatively low nowadays, so parents should pay more attention to observe their children’s physical health and give appropriate treatment to the children’s condition. So what is the matter with white urine in children?

What you described seems to be chyluria. Let me explain it to you now: Normal people's urine is light yellow in color. It is more clear when it is cold and more yellow when it is hot. This is related to sweating and how much water you drink, but it can also change with diet. If you consume an acidic diet, your urine will be dark in color. If you consume an alkaline diet, your urine will be light in color. Sometimes, taking a few riboflavin tablets orally can cause the urine to turn dark yellow. Changes in urine color like these are extremely short-lived and will quickly resolve on their own. For example, in cold weather, children are prone to rice-water-like urine. The urine will settle if left for a while, and become clear after being heated. This is physiological salt urine. As long as they drink more boiled water, the urine color will return to normal. If you occasionally experience the above symptoms in winter without other accompanying symptoms and physical signs, it is considered to be normal physiological similarities and the phosphate crystals in the urine due to the cold winter weather. At least you don't need to be nervous and no special treatment is required. However, it is best to do a urine test to rule out other pathological phenomena such as proteinuria.

Children's urine contains oxalate and phosphate, which will form crystals after being released, so the urine looks like milk. This situation is more common in winter. If the child's urine is clear when it is first released and then becomes like milk, it is normal and you just need to drink more boiled water. If the urine has an odor or is turbid when it is first released, it may be a urinary tract infection and you need to go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis.

Symptoms alone cannot confirm the diagnosis, and a routine urine test is needed. Proteinuria or chyluria cannot be ruled out. A urine routine test is required. Get enough rest and drink plenty of water. If you have an infection, take a cephalosporin antibiotic or amoxicillin-clavulanate. Also drink more boiled water. No need to worry.

This is a sign of indigestion in babies. You should pay attention to your diet and try not to eat greasy, cold, or difficult-to-digest foods. Massage your lower abdomen clockwise to promote digestion.

The above describes the situation where a child's urine is white. I hope that the above description will be of great help to many parents. Parents should not worry too much. Learning more medical knowledge in this area will be of great help to the baby. If there is an unexpected situation, please contact the doctor in time and listen to the doctor's guidance to help the baby recover quickly. Children nowadays are also different from those in the past. You need to know what precautions you should take in the future. Everyone, please save it quickly.
