Hi...I have just red through your question - I think these are the possibilities -

1. Strangury - due to concentrated urine. Give him a glass of sugar water followed by 2 glasses of normal water and this will settle the issue if he passes large amount of urine.

2. Balanoposthitis - please consult a pediatrician as this might require antibiotic therapy.

3. Urinary tract infection - Unlikely as there is no high grade fever or vomiting. But better to get a urine routine analysis done if the symptoms are not better by suggestion number one.

4. Posterior urethral valves - get an ultrasound abdomen and pelvis done.
