Bright yellow/orange wee?

Dd2 is just getting over a virus/possible flu.

Just went to empty her potty and her wee looks bright yellow/orange and cloudy (almost like orange juice) Shock.

Should i be worried?

She's not drinking much (as much as she would normally drink). Is it just due to the virus?

If she's not drinking as much, it could be that she's dehydrated. Is she taking any miltivitamins? Vit B is know for bright yellow/orange wee.

I think she has stopped drinking because i put calpol in her drink a few days ago (the only way i can get it into her), she sussed me out and now wont drink Sad. She does take multi vits too.

Could it be that she hasn't been drinking enough to dilute it's colour? Think it can be a sign of dehydration. That would be a dark colour.

Coloured urine can also be down to food or drink they've had too. Anything she may have eaten?

Cloudy coloured urine could also be related to a UTI. Has she commented on any stinging sensations or tummy ache?

Any other symptoms?

Its hard to say as she is Autistic and cant tell me if it hurts, she hasn't eaten much today and nothing different than she usually eats.

I will go and see if she will take a drink from a different cup.
