Patient's question:
My child is two years old and has been urinating frequently, sometimes needing to go every one or two hours. However, he drinks a lot of water and sweats a lot while sleeping, wetting his clothes and pillows. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Common causes of polyuria are often urinary tract infections. If the child has no symptoms, it may be due to physiological polyuria, such as cold temperatures, excessive fluid intake, or overexertion. You can first test a urinalysis to see if the results are normal, in which case there should not be a significant problem. Excessive sweating during deep sleep at night in children is often due to factors such as calcium deficiency, physical weakness, or autonomic nervous system tension. It is recommended to supplement with calcium appropriately and enhance nutrition in the diet. Carefully observe any changes in the condition. The above advice is for the question "How can I address my child's polyuria, who has been experiencing it for two years?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
