Frequent Urination

2020-08-20 19:29:31
Since one week my daughter who is 5.5 years of age weighing approx 16 kg has developed an urge to urinate frequently during the daytime. Nights seem to go away without much urinating. She urinates more frequently after 5 pm in the evening till the time she sleeps at night. To rule out the possibility of urine infection, we carried out a URINE ROUTINE test and the report was normal. We confirmed the same with general physicians and they advised us to give more fluids to the child. There has also been a change in weather for the past fifteen days since its raining a lot. Thought to take advice of doctors through this app. Please give suggestions. Thanks a lot in advance.

If urine report is normal( also urine culture) then it could be due to cold weather. During this weather, frequency of urine is some time increase. If she is not having fever or pain during urination not to worry.

It's just normal variation which should get better in it's own. Watch for bed wetting in the coming days. Do routine care.
