Why Is The Urine Of My Grandson Foaming After Taking Tamiflu?
My grandson has been taking Tamiflu for 2 days. He is 5 years old and doctor says he has the flu. His temperature has bee 101 to 103 for 3 days. I have noticed his urine has been foaming today. I am concerned something is going on with his kidneys. What do you think?

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
It is usual to have protein loss through urine while fever.So urine foaming should be due to protein content of urine.If he is not having any dysuria or back ache he should be fine.If he is having any such symptoms you can run a urine routine examination.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
