What Causes Bad Odor To The Urine Of An Infant?
Hi there, I m starting to grow concerned about my 9 wk old daughter urine smell. She is strictly formula fed so I know how much she is getting and it s usually around 28oz. Her urine has always smelled very strong and it finally clicked in my head that it might not be normal. If she has had a UTI would she be showing other symptoms?

Hi
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.
The smell could be due to formula or infection.
UTI may be asymptomatic in infant.
It is better to test the urine for pus cells and culture .
UTI if confirmed needs tretament with antibiotics
Wishing your child speedy recovery
