Hello,

As your daughter has red and dark specs in urine, I will suggest you to do urine analysis although she is very healthy and no any other symptoms.

Common causes of red specs in urine in children are urinary tract infection, cystitis, injury to the private part or maybe because of eating of food like beet.

So, I will suggest you to review here with detailed history or consult with pediatric urologist with reports and keep her well hydrated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale
