Question
A few days ago, the child suddenly started having frequent urination. This was due to wanting to use the bathroom during naptime at kindergarten but the teacher refused. After coming home, the child began to frequently want to use the bathroom, several times an hour. Previous treatment and its effects were that urine tests showed no issues, and after resting at home for a few days, the situation improved. However, after two days at kindergarten, the symptoms worsened again.
Answer
There are many causes of frequent urination, but a common one is urinary tract infection. It is recommended to start with anti-inflammatory treatment and pay attention to drinking plenty of water. Considering the child’s experience at kindergarten, if anti-inflammatory treatment is ineffective, it cannot be ruled out that the frequent urination is due to emotional tension, anxiety, or fear leading to a psychogenic cause. In this case, it is necessary to further undergo a detailed examination at the hospital to determine the cause and receive effective treatment.
