Certainly see his: pediatrician for a urinalysis to rule out blood, bacteria, etc., as Dr. N. advised. Some foods and medications can turn urine red or brown, like beets, blackberries, rhubarb (red) or fava beans, aloe (brown). Laxatives with senna or cascara can turn urine brown. But rule out medical causes first.
