Question
My three-week-old boy has been frequently urinating recently, but not producing much urine. It’s more frequent during the day and stops when he sleeps at night. I’ve had his urine routine checked, and everything is normal. The doctor didn’t prescribe any medication. However, this situation is still ongoing. I want to know if the urine routine can rule out kidney problems, and whether it could be related to the recent change in formula milk.
Answer
Based on the symptoms you’ve described, your child’s frequent urination can be ruled out as a urinary tract infection given that the urine routine is normal. However, it cannot exclude issues caused by urogenital system diseases. It is recommended that you take your child to a pediatric urology department for a re-examination to carefully diagnose and then develop a targeted treatment plan. Please follow the advice of the attending physician.
