Question
A baby at home has been experiencing white fluid flowing out of the urethra after morning urination. How should this be handled?
Answer
Based on the parent’s description, it is suspected that this may be a urinary tract infection. Urinary tract infections have a wide range of symptoms, including pyelonephritis, cystitis, urethritis, and so on. Depending on the location of the infection and whether there are structural or functional abnormalities in the urinary tract, they can be categorized as complex or non-complex urinary tract infections. They can also be classified as acute or chronic urinary tract infections based on the nature of the inflammation.
