Question
What are good treatments for frequent urination?
Answer
A one-year-old child typically urinates about 15 to 16 times a day, while a child between the ages of two and three urinates about 10 to 12 times, and preschoolers about 6 to 7 times. For children with neurogenic frequency, it is not advisable to use punishment or coercion to suppress urination. The more consciously one tries to control this frequency, the harder it becomes. Parents can use 15 grams of corn silk, boiled in water, and sweetened with sugar as needed. This method is economical and easy for children to accept, and usually shows results in 3 to 5 days, with recovery within about 10 days.
