Found blood in my baby s urine. Is it normal?
Patient: My baby has the flu yesterday and I took her to our dr. He wanted to try gravol before he admitted her. ... she stopped puking last night around 8 and that was pure bile... I gave get 2oz of pedialite then she slept I woke her up at 3 have her agravol and tylonal for a fever and laid her down again. .. she had not peed yet. .. when I changed her diaper2 hrs later there was blood in her urine not a lot but it was def blood was red and In the front of her diaper notthe back. .. she just spit up a bit more pediatite on me and I went to go change her diaper and all and there was blood again. .. that s not normal is it? ? She s 5 months old Doctor: Hi..this is not normal. In view of throwing up, I feel that she might be having a urinary tract infection or a renal colic too. Other option (though remote) is that, blood could have been from the stools. In such case the possibility of bacterial dysentery has too be considered. Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry. But I suggest you take her to her paediatrician.Regards - Dr. Sumanth
