Could The White Particles Found In My Urine A Side Effect Of Taking Antibiotics And Steroids?
My 4 almost 5 yr old son has white particles in his urine. He has been taking antibiotics for 7 days and was taking steroids last week for a bronchial problem. He has also had skin rashes and loose stool, which I have attributed to the medication. I am wondering if the urine thing is also a side effect or something that could be more serious?
