Question
Why is a 5-month-old baby’s urine yellow? My child’s urine has been yellow, what could be the reason?
Answer
The most common reason for a 5-month-old baby’s urine to appear yellow is likely due to insufficient water intake, especially in hot or dry environments. Additionally, dehydration, diarrhea, or fever can cause urine to concentrate and turn yellow. If the situation does not improve after drinking more water, be aware of symptoms of urinary tract infection, such as frequent urination, difficulty urinating, or bloody urine. Seek medical attention promptly, undergo routine urine tests, and follow the doctor’s advice for antibiotic treatment. If there is no improvement after treatment, consider issues with the liver and gallbladder system and further examination and systemic treatment.
