My ds is 6 and usually very fit and healthy. Health wise he has been fine but he has been going to the toilet very frequently, often at short notice (and occasionally caught short).
He has always worn night time nappies - I have not been worried really, I wet the bed until I was about 9 or 10 (it was called a "sensitive bladder" then and I just grew out of it) - but every night for the past week he has woken wet as the nappies are sodden. He is well within the weight range so I don't think going up a size is necessary and it seems odd that it is occurring the same time as his increased need for the loo. I am not sure whether he is drinking more, or whether I am just noticing him doing it more. He has always been very good at drinking water and just helps himself during the day.
So, does this sound like a UTI (or something else?) Should I take him to the Dr's? (The last time I took him was to confirm he has Molluscum contagiosum. He had a bad case of eczema too, so I thought I had better get him checked it wasn't something worse, and the Dr treated me as if I was massively wasting her time)
Thanks for any advice.
