What Causes Blood In Urine Of A 3 Day Old Baby?
Question: Hi my baby is 3 days old has bit blood in urine is it normal
Brief Answer:
No, this is not normal, you need to take baby to Pediatrician
Detailed Answer:
Hell there, Thanks for coming to HelathCareMagic.
The presence of actual blood in the urine or a bloody spot on the diaper is never normal, and your pediatrician should be informed as soon as you can.
It may be due to nothing more serious than a small sore caused by diaper rash. It's not big deal. Problem is, it also could be a sign of a more serious problem, like an infection.
If this bleeding is accompanied by other symptoms, such as abdominal pain or bleeding in other areas, seek medical attention for your baby immediately.
I hope this helps,
