Can a cold cause urine to smell strong?

Yes, a cold can cause urine to smell strong.

When you have a cold, your body produces more mucus. This mucus can drain into your throat and stomach, and it can also enter your urinary tract. When this happens, it can cause your urine to smell strong and cloudy.

In most cases, the strong-smelling urine that occurs with a cold is not a cause for concern. It will usually go away on its own within a few days. However, if your urine continues to smell strong for more than a week, or if you have any other concerns about your urine, you should see a doctor.
