Brief Answer:
The light brown urine is due to dehydration from vomiting and diarrhea

Detailed Answer:
Hi xxxxxxxxx,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.

1. Vomiting and diarrhea cause loss of fluids and water from the body. This causes dehydration and if not controlled can get serious.

2. The urine is light brown in color because there is dehydration and the kidneys are trying to concentrate the urine.

3. Please drink adequate amounts of fluids and juices to treat dehydration symptoms. If the vomiting and diarrhea continues after 24 hours then consult your doctor and get treated for the flu and fluid replacement if required.

Hope your query is answered.
Please do write back if you have any doubts.
