Question
The child’s urine has bubbles, and sometimes there is a noticeable stinging sensation at the tip of the penis. What’s going on?
Answer
Bubbles in urine are indicative of proteinuria, which is commonly seen in kidney disease and can also be a sign of a urinary tract infection. The stinging sensation at the tip of the penis suggests a urinary tract infection. It is recommended to lift the foreskin to inspect the urethra at the tip of the penis.
