Question 8

my toddlerlet has a urine odor that smells sort  of like gasoline. i notice it off and on. right now he's on amoxicillin. could that be the reason?

Accepted Answer

Most likely: Yes, most likely the odor is just due to the amoxicillin.  Penicillin antibiotics have a tendency to give the urine a penicillin-like smell.  As long as it's not discolored and the smell goes away after he finishes the amoxicillin, i wouldn't worry.

Possible but...: Any chemical may carry its unique odor after mixing with natural vaginal fluid which even varies among individuals; it's of no exception for replens. So, to verify your concern, it's no harm to smell the area with using it or with using simple KY jelly or without using it so you can smell the difference and draw a conclusion.
