Answer
Doctor’s Recommendations:
- Besides frequent urination, is the baby drinking more water? Has the total urine output increased? Possibilities of diabetes insipidus should be ruled out.
- If accompanied by symptoms such as urinary pain, difficulty urinating, has there been a change in urine color? Are there more bubbles? Problems caused by inflammation or non-inflammatory conditions should be ruled out.
- Has there been a significant improvement in the baby’s bedwetting at night and during the day? If so, it may be necessary to consider psychogenic polyuria. Finally, it is recommended to consult a pediatrician first. The simplest step is to perform a routine urine test, and then further examinations will be conducted based on the results.
