What Causes Ear Infection And Smelly Urine?
Question: my 18 mo old granddaughter has an ear infection. She saw a doctor and is taking medication. Is it odd for her urine to smell somewhat like gasoline?
Brief Answer:
What drug is see taking? urine odor change is not rare with antibiotics.
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this ear infection your daughter has. Antibiotics can cause a change in the odor of urine. This is no problem and would get over as soon as the treatment comes to an end. I will also like to know the name of the drug to further confirm that this is the real reason for the odor change. Be relaxed and calm about this. There are no red flags that need to be addressed right now.
