my 5 month old pee smells like acid?

Accepted Answer

Urine odor: Generally speaking, we don't necessarily have to be concerned about the odor of our baby's urine. In the absence of any other symptoms (ie: fever, vomiting, poor feeding, irritability), there is no cause for concern. The best test of course is a urine sample obtained via catheter to be sent for urinalysis and culture. But, as mentioned above, in the absence of any other symptoms, no action is nece.

Question 4

why is my pee smells like butter popcorn?

Accepted Answer

What did you eat?: Usually it is what you eat or drink that dictates the smell of your urine.  Sugary foods if enough, will cause a rise in your serum blood glucose concentration, and the body reacts by trying to excrete the extra sugar in your urine. Often causing a sweet smell.

Here are some ...: The urine odor you smell may widely vary to reflecting what you consumed, how concentrated and fresh the urine is, and how your personal unique sense of smell is. So, cereal-like smell could be normal for you at the time as long as voiding well with good flow and bladder emptying, and being normal in urinalysis from properly collected urine specimen. More? Ask Doc timely for confirmation.

Question 10

what does it mean if your pee smells like butter?

Accepted Answer

Not clear: If urine has a consistently odd odor, you should see md and have urinalysis and urine culture to ensure that it is normal.  The urine is a mirror of the body's health; if there is too much sugar, or infection, or blood, it will become clear from these tests.  Not clear what "butter" smell reflects, but ensure that there are no issues.
