Hello, My child is four years old and is always having to pee. I thought at first it was because he always is drinking but he has also went with out a drink and sometimes pees 2 times within an hour sometimes it could be more he also always says he is thirsty and needs a drink like 2 or 3 cups every hour or so could there be something wrong?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,

How long this problem is there? Is there any discomfort or pain while passing urine? Any weight loss? What about his appetite?

This needs evaluation to find out the cause. As a first step, get an accurate estimation of the amount of water he drinks and amount of urine he passes in a 24 hour period (morning to morning). Apart from this, few tests like serum electrolytes, renal function test and urine analysis will help us decide the cause and proceed accordingly. Your pediatrician will guide you

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
