Question

My four-month-old baby’s urine is reddish. I’m not sure what the cause might be. Could it be a problem?

Answer

Based on your description, the reddish urine in your baby may be caused by hematuria. Possible causes include hemolytic disease, ureteral calculi, and urinary tract infections. To determine the cause, it is necessary for the baby to see a doctor for a check-up as soon as possible. The healthcare provider will offer appropriate treatment suggestions based on the results of the examination. As a parent, it is important to closely monitor your baby’s symptoms and help them receive timely treatment.
