What Causes Strong Smelling Urine In Children?
My 8 year old daughter has a very strong smelling urine. If i had to describe it, i would say it has a sulfur smell. Can you tell me why this happens? She has had numerous bladder infections. She has been to a urologist and her kidneys are ok but the doctor says she doesn t empty her bladder completely. She only drinks water and milk.

Hello
Urine infection is one of the most common cause of malodorous urine.A urine routine examination and culture sensitivity should be sent followed by antibiotic treatment. The incomplete emptying of bladder can be due to various causes.After subsidence of acute infection long term prophylaxis with low dose antibiotic prevents relapse. The cause of incomplete emptying of bladder should be addressed properly and should be managed as this is the root cause.
