Monitor: Monitor his urine since there are no other symptoms and increase his daily water intake. What we eat and drink and change the smell and color of our urine (i.e. asparagus). Watch for fevers, painful urination, and/or irritability as a sign that you should have him evaluated.

Maybe: Smelly urine is a vague personal assessment.It may be normal or the only sign of a localized infection at the urinary outlet or under the foreskin. Unless the kid has a fever it is less likely it is a bladder or kidney infection.It certainly deserves to be monitored closely and an office visit during regular hours could rule out something more worrisome.

Don't worry: Worth getting urinalysis once for reassurance. Foul smelling urine, especially in girls may be a sign of a UTI, but usually is benign.

Urine test: It is wise to check a urinalysis. Sometimes smegma a secretion from the skin there can give an odor in uncircumcised penis. But it is good to check a UA to ensure it's not a bladder infection.
