My DS is otherwise completely fine (well, not eating much, but no change there!), hes happy, energetic etc but over the last few days he is complaining of being thirsty an awful lot, and has been drinking as much as 5 times his usual amount. Weeing plenty too therefore. Im aware of the diabetes/thirst thing, hes not diabetic as far as I know, but would this sudden change in his drinking behaviour make you want to get it checked out or am I being neurotic mum? TIA.
