My 3.5 year old son has cloudy urine on and off. he appears to be healthy and no fever or any unusual behaviour.

Phosphate crystals?: The usual cause of cloudy urine is phosphate crystals, which are normal, simply the result of fluid intake and diet. It's not harmful in any way. You can test this by adding a few drops of acid (e.g. vinegar) to a urine sample. If phosphate crystals, the urine will turn crystal clear. In other words, no worries! But discuss with your son's pediatrician if you remain concerned.
