What Causes White Discharge With Foamy Urine In Children?
Hi My 2.5 year old son has a white smelly dried up stain in his underpants look like maybe it was dried discharge and when he went to the toilet his urine was foamy when he first started to urinate. he has also been very grumpy lately and not at all his self. Do you have any idea what this may be and do i need to take him to the doctors?

Hi,
Welcome to Hcm,
When foamy urine is seen in a child, possibility of urinary tract infection should be thought of or rather ruled out. So, if I were your pediatrician, I would get a urine routine done in your son and then decide regarding further management. However, not having fever is an unlikely feature of urinary infection. Hope the suggestion helped. Happy to help with further queries.
