Question
What could be the cause of a one-month-old baby’s urine being discolored to a yellowish shade?
Answer
The yellowish discoloration of a one-month-old baby’s urine can be caused by various factors, including medication effects, internal heat (also known as ‘up fire’), or formula milk. If the cause is unclear, it is advisable to go to the hospital for a urine test to determine the specific cause. This may be due to the baby having internal heat or insufficient water intake in their diet. Particularly when the baby has a fever and reduced urine output, it is encouraged to have the baby drink more water, juice, yogurt, and pay attention to fluid intake. At the same time, increasing foods rich in water content can help increase the body’s water intake.
