Question
My baby is seven months old and urinates every ten minutes or so. Sometimes, the diaper gets wet soon after it’s changed. What’s going on? Do I need to do a urine test? What kind of tests should I do?
Answer
The situation mentioned by the parent may require the possibility of urinary tract infection or diaper rash to be ruled out. It is recommended to take the baby to the hospital for a routine urine test. If the baby’s buttocks skin is red and swollen, it may be caused by a diaper rash. After each cleaning, you can apply a layer of ointment to the buttocks, such as tetracycline ointment or eye ointment.
