Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My daughter has had a cold for almost two weeks. She has had fevers off and on for a week. She is eating very little but I manage to get her to keep fluids in her system. She is not throwing up at. I took her to the doctor yesterday and he said she has bronchitis and gave her antibiotics. The next day her urine was dark. What is going on? She is six years old.
Since she is having fever, cough since 2 weeks, it is better to get some investigations like blood tests, urine analysis and X-ray chest done to find out exact cause of such complaints. Dark colour of urine might have been caused due to concentrated urine as a result of decreased oral intake and dehydration. Give more oral fluids, ORS solution, juices etc. Antibiotics like rifampicin, metronidazole, sulfsalazine etc may cause change in urine colour but these are unlikely to be prescribed by your doctor.
