Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello dear
it can possibly be a urinary tract infection as you said her pee smells foul.
As per your symptoms,she doesn't have any complaints like dysuria or increased frequency of micturition. I would like you to get her a urine routine examination done. Give her plenty of fluids and especially cranberry juice. Avoid constipation by giving her a fiber diet and plenty of fluids.Increase her water intake.
If the urine turns out positive for infection,start syp. cefixime 200 mg/5ml at a dose of 10mg/kg once daily for 7 days.
If she has worms in potty andshe has tummy ache on and off with perianal itching,give her syp. mebendazole 100 mg twice daily for 3 days.
Hope it will help.
Wishing your child good health :-)
