POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy6 months agoA. Frequent urination in a 4-year-8-month-old child can be caused by several factors, including infections, bladder irritation, or psychological reasons. Since she is urinating every 20 minutes with small amounts, here are some possible causes and steps to take:
Possible Causes: Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) – Burning sensation, urgency, or discomfort while urinating. Overactive Bladder – Bladder contracts more often than normal. Pollakiuria (Frequent Urination Syndrome) – Common in children aged 3-8, typically stress-related, resolves on its own. Constipation – A full rectum can press on the bladder, causing frequent urination. Diabetes (Less Likely but Important to Rule Out) – If she is drinking excessive water and urinating frequently. Bladder Irritation – Due to acidic foods (citrus, tomatoes, etc.) or concentrated urine. What You Can Do at Home:
✅ Increase Water Intake – Helps flush out possible infections.
✅ Avoid Bladder Irritants – Reduce citrus fruits, chocolates, and spicy foods.
✅ Ensure Proper Hygiene – Wipe front to back to prevent UTIs.
✅ Encourage Complete Emptying – Ask her to wait a little longer on the toilet.
✅ Check for Other Symptoms – Fever, pain while urinating, foul-smelling urine, or abdominal pain.
When to See a Doctor:
⚠️ If she has fever, burning sensation, abdominal pain, or cloudy/smelly urine.
⚠️ If the symptoms persist for more than 2-3 days without improvement.
⚠️ If she drinks too much water and is always thirsty (check for diabetes).
A urine test (urinalysis) will help determine if there’s an infection or other issues. Let me know if you need more help!
