very strong smelling urine in 12mth old

[yellowbean]

dd has really strong smelling urine for 2 days now. so strong that i can mell it on hertrousers and vest even though she hasn't wet through. any ideas?

Is he drinking enough?

Infection perhaps?

yeah she drinks loads and is still breastfeeding.

basicaaly i'm asking if i should worry or just keep tippiing fluids into her?

if you're concerned then give the nhs helpline a ring 0845 4647, has she got a temperature ???

Yellowbean - I have exactly the same prob with my ds (7months). It's really stinky, and we keep thinking he's pooed. I also think it's not dehydration as he has plenty of heavy wet nappies a day.

I asked the hv (who's crap) about it and she just said dehydration, or they can do tests. Not sure what the tests are for, but I'm going to push for them. He has a really sore nappy rash too, with weeping blisters the size of a 10p. We've got some anti-fungal cream which is helping a bit, but I'm wondering if there's something else wrong.

no temp. she does have a cold and chesty cough and is tething but generally wellish.
sandybeach... can recomend bepanthen cream for nappy rash. would be tmpted to see a doc with blisters like that though

aww she is probably run down with cough and cols x my ds has been suffering since sunday and his wee has been a bit stronger than usual.I have been giving him benylin,calpol,nurofen and rubbing vicks on his chest

thanks yb. I did get him to the docs and the antifungal is what she gave us. Poor thing was sobbing at every nappy change.

YB have noticed dds wee smells stronge r when she is cutting teeth,despite her guzzling gallons.Dunno why it just seems to happen,she always gets nappy rash when teething too.Strange but true!!!
