Urinary tract infection or irritation Possibily.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM.

I have gone through your query. Your son's problem can be due to lower urinary tract infection or irritation from concentration of urine due to dehydration. Better to have a urine routine examination to rule out infection.

Take more water. Taking barley water or cranberry juice is helpful. Potassium citrate syrup in water also give relief. In case of infection antibiotic therapy will be required.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
