Peeing-Every 5 minutes (What's Wrong?)?!
Question:
Peeing-Every 5 minutes (What's Wrong?)?
12-yr. old son pees every 5-minutes after drinking his soda at dinner. This equates to 5-bathroom times in 30-minutes. What does this mean?
Answers:
~He could have a bladder infection. Have you had one before? The symptoms are burning during urinating, feeling like you have to go all the time, but can't, and sometimes thick urine coming out.
I would take the soda away and make him drink more water. Soda can cause the bladder infection.
If he's only doing this during dinner, I don't think it's urgent. You could go get some Cranberry Gel tabs and give him 4 or 5 a day with lots of water.
Add ice to the water to make it more appealing. Talk to him about any symptoms. If he has one, he'll let you know how much it's bothering him, if he's not afraid to talk with you about it. Good luck.~
