His urine is clear but smells very strong since yesterday?

Question

My 7 month old baby has been taking amoxil 3x a day since Friday for double ear infections. His urine is clear but smells very strong since yesterday is it due to the antibiotic? He has no fever and is drinking well. Thank you

Good morning, Mrs, The medication is indeed eliminated in the urine. It is therefore not abnormal that it affects the smell, but not in an appreciable way. For now, just monitor the situation, continue to encourage him to drink often. If the situation persists 3 days after the end of the treatment, I would advise consulting, if only as a precaution.
