Patient's question:
My child noticed that he doesn't drink much water, but he keeps going to the bathroom. It's the same when he takes naps in the afternoon. Why is it that an 8-year-old child has frequent urination?Doctor's answer:
The condition of the child is mostly considered by traditional Chinese medicine to be caused by kidney qi deficiency. From a Western medicine perspective, it may be due to inadequate local hygiene leading to mild urethritis, or it could be related to excessive fluid intake. It is best to have some relevant tests done at the hospital. For treatment, oral Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan can be used for conditioning. Please follow the doctor's advice regarding medication. Additionally, moxibustion therapy can be considered. In addition to symptomatic treatment for male genitourinary diseases, the patient should also pay attention to nursing care, such as maintaining a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, the patient should choose a reputable hospital for treatment to achieve good therapeutic effects.
