What Causes Brown Color Urination In A Child?
My 4 years old son looks healthy, no fever, no pain, but yesterday he called me to look at his urine and I was so terrified when I saw the urine which looks like a strong coffee. Actually I am going to take him to a doctor this evening but what could this be.

Hi,
Cola colored urine in a well thriving child could mean post streptococcal glomerulonephritis following upper respiratory tract infection or skin infection. Don't worry, it is a self resolving condition. Please go to a pediatrician for blood and urine tests and blood pressure check-up.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Prasanna Lakshmi, Pediatrician
