4yo up and down to toilet all night

Any ideas on this?! My ds age 4 is getting up around 5 times a night to run for a wee. Obviously this is making him (and me!) very tired. Started a few months ago when he had balanitis fungal infection, which was treated and now looks OK but I'm actually still treating just in case. Even if it is that lingering and irritating his foreskin, he's wrongly interpreting that as needing to urinate. He is sometimes only doing a couple of drops, and then up again 30 mins later. I need him to learn to ignore it. Alternatively the original infection may have cleared and we're left with a mega habit. He needs to learn to turn over and go back to sleep. I've tried to explain, repeatedly! I've tried bribing him. I've tried being quite firm about it and taking him back to bed. I hoped school would tire him about and he'd sleep through it, but no. Where do I go from here?! Diabetes is ruled out btw and 2 UTI tests clear.
