What Causes Orange Color Urine In An Infant When Suffering From Fever?
My 19 month old daughter had some vomiting and diarrhea yesterday, her pediatrician diagnosed her with the stomach flu. Shortly after leaving his office she developed a fever. She currently still has the fever but had not had any diarrhea or vomiting today. When I changed her last diaper I noticed her urine was a little orange in color, is this normal? She has been drinking plenty of water, so I do not believe she is dehydrated. Thank you so much for your help.

Hi.... by what you say I feel that your child might be having Orange coloured urine due to any one of the medicines she has been taking for this probable viral illness. Some cough syrups and Paracetamol have colouring agents in them which can cause this. If the child is otherwise active and there is no blood in the urine you need not worry.
