Toddler with white powder in urine
Okay, so my 2 1/2 year old little boy has been potty trained for 9 months or so. We have not had any accidents in quiet a long time. About 2 weeks ago he started not wanting to go potty even when he told me he had to and now I have to practicaly drag him in to the bathroom and force him to go. Along with this, he has been saying his tummy and pp hurts. So we happened to be at the md and I mentioned it, she did a quick urine test at the office, which was negative but she wanted me to take his urine in to the lab for a second look. Well, I got busy and a couple of hours later his urine had separated, so the yellow part was on the top and a whote powdery substance was on the bottom. It is about 40 degrees here, so there is no issue with heat what so ever. I have never had this happen before and not even with him. On trips, we have our boys pee in bottle all the time and I have NEVER had this happen. Anyone heard of it before? His accidents in just 24 hours have become more frequent and he seems not to be emptying his bladder completely. HELP!!!
He could have a urine infection, they are easily treated but you need to send a fresh urine sample to the lab asap so if there is any infection, antibiotics can be started and your son will feel better sooner. try letting him have a warm bath when he needs to urinate, this relaxs the tubes in which the urine flows out of, yes he may wee in the bath but at least he is getting it out, if it is an infection the more he urinates the better as it will flush it out of him. substitute any acidic drinks like fresh orange, with cranberry juice and water as this helps flush out infection to.
Hope he gets better soon
Hope he gets better soon
Please get your son's urine specimen to the lab. (They may need a fresh one.)
Which tests did your pediatrician order?
You can buy some of the ''pull ups'' style diapers for him to use, until he regains bladder control. You don't want him to think that he's a "bad boy" for being sick and having these problems.
Also, you can call the doctor's office and tell them about the sediment in the urine.
Wishing you the best,
