What Causes Ants On Bed And In Dress With Bed Wetting Problem?

My son has a bed wetting problem. He is 7 years old and recently I have noticed ants by his bed. I wash his blankets daily. But i find ants in his bed. One evening he went in his room to put back on a pair of shorts he was wearing earlier and the shorts were covered in ants. He did boy pee in the shorts. Should I get him tested?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello.
Thank you for contacting HCM.

I have gone through your question and I will try my best to give a satisfactory answer.

The ants around your son's urine although not confirmatory but do arose a suspicion of juvenile diabetes.
If I were your son's treating physician I would like to know a detailed history such as increased urination, increased thirst, recent weight loss despite of eating adequately, history of diabetes on maternal or paternal side.
Also I would like to run some tests such as random and fasting blood sugar levels, oral glucose tolerance tests and HbA1c.

I would suggest you consult your local physician for your son , for a detailed clinical evaluation and further treatment accordingly.

I hope this answers your question . Please feel free to contact HCM again in case you have any concerns.
Wishing you and your son good health.
