I have an almost 4 year old dcb. He has literally been going to the bathroom every 20-45 minutes for the last week and a half. I started following him to make sure he wasn't playing with anything and he is actually urinating. Not just trickles, but what seems to be full streams. I told mom about it and then insisted she take him to the Dr's. She finally did and the Dr tested for a UTI. The test for a UTI came back negative but confirmed there was blood in the urine so the Dr's said they aren't concerned with it since there are no other symptoms.
Maybe it's me but if this were my child I would be insisting on a second opinion. It could be bladder, kiddneys anything. I would be really concerned about blood in the urine at 4 years old. Not to mention this poor kid cries and says he doesn't know why he always has to go. He wakes up from nap after 40 minutes to go.
And I should also mention he's not really drinking. I leave water out all day and milk at meals. He doesn't touch the water and has a few sips of milk with meals. He is eating normal though.
