White Chalky Substance In My 19 Month Olds Urine.

I am away from home and notice my 19 month old daughter has a white chalky substance in her urine. Should I be concerned? Is this normal? What causes it? She is having some trouble with a cold or allergies so I have given her some C-phen I had on hand to help with stuffiness.

Hi.. Whilte chalky like substances in the urine can occur due to crystalinization of urine.. They can occur due to alkanisation of urine, urinary infection, trauma, kidney dysfuctions and in a few other non concerning causes.. Evaluation would be necessary if these symptoms persist or in presence of other symptoms...
