Accepted Answer

It's understandable to be concerned if your 3-year-old is urinating more frequently than usual and if you're noticing an unusual smell. Here are a few things to consider:

Frequent Urination: While some variation in urination frequency is normal, urinating 3 to 4 times at regular intervals may indicate increased fluid intake, or it could be a sign of a urinary tract infection (UTI) or other urinary issues. It's important to observe if your child is having any discomfort or pain while urinating.

Smell of Urine: The smell of urine can sometimes change due to dehydration, certain foods, or an infection. If the urine smells unusually strong, it might be due to:

Dehydration: If your child isn't drinking enough fluids, the urine can become more concentrated and have a stronger odor. Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): UTIs can cause a strong, foul smell, along with frequent urination or discomfort. Diet: Foods like asparagus, certain spices, or even medications can alter the smell of urine.

Other Symptoms to Watch For: Along with the frequency of urination and smell, keep an eye out for other signs like:

Pain or discomfort during urination Fever Cloudy or bloody urine Irritability or fussiness Inability to control urination (if your child was previously potty trained)

If you notice any of these symptoms or if the unusual smell and frequency persist, it's a good idea to consult with a pediatrician. They may recommend a urine test to rule out any infections or other medical conditions.
