Why does my 2-year-old daughter have smelly urine?

Dear Sunny,

Smelly urine in a 2-year-old can be due to:

• UTI: May include fever, irritability, or discomfort during urination.
• Dehydration: Concentrated urine from low fluid intake.
• Diet: Foods like garlic or asparagus.
• Medications/Supplements: Can alter urine odour.

What You Can Do:

1. Hydrate: Encourage fluids like water or ORS.
2. Monitor: Look for fever, pain, or changes in urination.
3. See a Pediatrician: Persistent odour may need a urine test to rule out UTI or other conditions.
