Does the baby like to drink plain water because of any illness?

Patient's question:

The baby is 1 year and 5 months old. They really enjoy drinking plain white water every day. Is this okay? In this weather, they need to drink 200ml of plain white water every once in a while. Is this alright?

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you described, if a child over one year old is currently experiencing increased fluid intake, it is normal if the home is dry or if the child sweats a lot. However, if the child again exhibits polydipsia (excessive thirst), polyuria (excessive urination), increased nighttime urination, or weight loss, it is necessary to visit a hospital for a urinalysis promptly. The above is advice on this issue, and it is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
