My 4 year old pees often

Lately my 4 year old has been going pee often, like every 5 or 10 minutes, she'll just go to the bathroom and sit on the toilet and nothing really will come out .  At first she started doing that just before bed so i thought it was just a tactic for staying up.   Now recently she has been doing it more during the day and getting up often during the night and almost every time she goes she doesnt really pee she just tinkles a little bit.  I checked out the symptoms for a UTI but she only has ONE of the symptoms.. i asked her if it hurt when she peed and she said no...any advice??

Hi there,

I know you have said that you have ruled out a UTI but there are many different bugs that can be involved and some of them have no symptoms other than regular toileting . . . So please seek your GP's advice and get her tested. Often little girls will develop UTI's because they are still new to things and may be not wiping herself in the correct way . .

I hope you get this sorted . .  Cheers Kellz

It sounds like an infection to me. Take her to the Dr's and get it checked out. If you can get her to pee in a clean jar (midstream) and take it with you.

Are you giving her juice or water? sometimes when a child drinks to much sugary juice it can have a diaretic effect. Children need lots and lots of plain water.

it sounds like it might be UTI but if she is only getting one symptoms you might need a drs opinion.  if not she might not be emptying her bladder properly watch her and if she seems to be peeing and not fully emptying the bladder get her to try. its hard i know but it might help.
