Question
A five-month-old boy has been found to have yellow and sticky urine. The child has no history of allergies and has been using the same brand of diapers. What could be the cause, and how should it be handled?
Answer
Based on the description, the yellow and sticky urine in this five-month-old boy may be due to a urinary tract infection or indigestion. Since the child is quite young, it is recommended to conduct a routine urine test to determine the cause. If the test results show an infection, appropriate antibiotic treatment should be administered, and increased fluid intake is encouraged during treatment to aid in recovery. We hope the child recovers soon.
