Question
My child’s urine looks like congee water, and he often drools but not thirsty. He has frequent bowel movements, especially at night. What kind of help should I seek? What’s going on, and how can I help him return to normal? It’s fine when it’s cold again.
Answer
This could be due to the crystallization of sugar again. If this condition occurs in the summer as well, it would be advisable to conduct a routine urine test to understand the situation better. It may be a form of proteinuria. I recommend taking your child to the hospital for a urine and blood test, possibly indicating urinary tract infection or nephropathy. Please go to the hospital for a thorough check-up as soon as possible. Since the symptoms and signs you provided are too few to further speculate, such as fever status, daily urine volume, and whether there is swelling, etc.
