    First of all, human urine contains some organic and inorganic substances. These substances will increase the tension of urine and cause foamy urine. Therefore, the presence of foam in a child's urine does not mean that there will be health problems, but the presence of foam in the urine does not represent the child's health. It is also one of the indicators of the child's health, so it is still necessary to observe carefully. In addition, if there is foam in the child's urine that does not dissipate for a long time, it is likely to be proteinuria. You can put a small amount of urine in a small bottle and shake it back and forth with your hands. If small but persistent foam appears on the surface of the urine, proteinuria is suspected, and it may be kidney disease. The child should be taken to the hospital for examination as soon as possible.

    Secondly, under normal circumstances, foam in the urine is normal, but it may also be because the urine contains protein. When the protein content in the urine is high, foam will appear on the surface of the urine. If a child has edema on the face and eyelids, take the child to the doctor for a routine urine examination. In addition, if the child urinates while standing, if the position is too high, foaming will occur when peeing. However, you should take a closer look. If there is foaming when urinating multiple times, you should go to the hospital for examination in time, so as to prevent foaming when peeing.
