What Should I Do About Frequent Urination In A Child?

Posted on Thu, 28 Jan 2021

Question: Hi, my son is 3.7 years old, since last 1 week he is passing urine frequently especially during morning to evening 9.00 pm... Frequency in an hour 3 times. I had urine test done but looks like there is no as per lab. When ever he takes water or milk, 1 st time he is passing more ml but next time he is just passing very less. But frequently he is doing that I can say in 12 hrs around 20 to 25 times. I attached the report

------------------------------------------

Thanks for reply sir, sure we will try to reduce fluid intake and will check. Today he was saying bit pain @bladder, but he is very active.

Brief Answer:
Try reducing the child's fluid intake

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Your report does not indicate any urinary tract infection. For the child to pass increased amount (and rate) of urine, the fluid intake also needs to be proportionately more. I would insist you to try reducing the child's fluid intake and see if it helps.

Also, please ask him if he has any discomfort. Unless he says so, I doubt if there is any cause for concern.

I would wait to hear back from you.

Regards

Brief Answer:
Wait and watch

Detailed Answer:
Welcome back,

The first impression that I got from the description was that of a urinary tract infection but the report did not indicate so. So, let us wait and watch.

Regards
