Suggest Treatment For Urine Odor On Baby
I have noticed for about the last week my 8 year old daughter s hair and other parts of her body such as her hands smell very strongly of urine. (i notice those parts when i give her a hug). I have to give her a bath in the morning before she goes to school and another at night before she goes to bed. Can you tell me what this might be caused from? anything i should be concerned about?

Hi,
Many of the times strong odour in this age could be because of Sudorific glands getting matured and hence the only solution for this will be frequent bath and use of deodorants, please.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
