White Chalky Substance In My 19 Month Olds Urine.

I am away from home and notice my 19 month old daughter has a white chalky substance in her urine. Should I be concerned? Is this normal? What causes it? She is having some trouble with a cold or allergies so I have given her some C-phen I had on hand to help with stuffiness.

They can occur due to alkanisation of urine, urinary infection, trauma, kidney dysfuctions and in a few other non concerning causes.. Evaluation would be necessary if these symptoms persist or in presence of other symptoms...
