Likely to be Urinary tract infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Welcome to HealthcareMagic .

Burned odour indicates urinary tract infection . Sometimes without burning micturition and fever , urinary tract infection may be there.

Symptoms depend on the bacteria count and your immunity. I suggest you to get urine analysis done to rule to infection.

One more less likely chances are if you are dehydrated. In this case urine will be concentrated and less quantity.

Hope I have answered your query. If any further queries are there I would love to help.
