Hi
Welcome to the HCM

I understand your concerns but don't worry.
As the child's bladder is small and does not hold as much urine as an adult's bladder. For this reason, frequent urination is common and is not necessarily a sign of a urinary problem. Your child may urinate more because he or she is drinking extra fluid, feeling nervous, or simply from habit.

Urinary tract infections can be suspected if there if frequent urinary frequency at home as well as outside. Also there may be urgency, burning pain or associated fever.

As the laboratory work up is also normal in the child, I would recommend you to avoid any drugs.
Just wait and watch. It usually resolves over in a few days as child grows.

For further questions, you may contact me.
