Question
The baby’s underwear is a bit yellow, and they have intermittent pain during their afternoon nap, and they often lie about having a urge to urinate. What could this be?
Answer
The yellow stains in the child’s underwear likely indicate the presence of secretions. The child may feel the urge to urinate but is unable to do so, which might be mistaken for lying. If there is pain during urination, it suggests that the child may have a urinary tract infection. It is advisable to take the child to a pediatrician or urologist for a thorough examination and timely treatment of the inflammation, in order to effectively alleviate symptoms and avoid excessive blame on the child.
