What Causes Strong Smelling Urine?
Daughter has strong smelling urine for one day. Diarrhea for a week. Got a urine dipstick showed trace blood but nothing else. She is teething. But should I take her for a second opinion. She is very fussy and not acting like herself. Her teeth are through and didn't really bug her. Wondering of microscopic urine spec should be done

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
She is having concentrated urine (giving strong smell) due to dehydration following diarrhea.
Take all necessary steps to get her better fast:
• Allow to give her plenty of liquids in form of lemon water, boiled water, homemade juices, rice water, buttermilk, etc.
• Cranberry sachet half in full glass of water daily for 3 days
• Vitamin C chewable supplements for 2 times a day
• Keep her genitals clean, dry diarrhea, if persistent, think about giving proper antibiotics, probiotics to control further dehydration
• Avoid exposure to excess heat
• Watch for her playfulness and urine output
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
