Why does a child pee every few minutes?

If a child urinates every few minutes, it may be due to a urinary tract infection, or it may be caused by severe internal heat in the body. During this period, you should pay attention to observe the child's physical condition, adjust the child's diet, and eat less spicy, irritating food or food that is easy to cause internal heat.

1. Urinary tract infection: If a child urinates every few minutes, it may be caused by factors of urinary tract infection, such as inflammatory irritation at the urethral opening, which will cause the child to go to the toilet frequently, urinate more frequently, and urinate in small amounts. During this period, parents should pay attention to cleaning their children's urethral opening. They can use warm water to clean the urethral opening before going to bed every night, which can reduce the incidence of urinary tract infections. If the symptoms are more serious, you need to take anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor to improve the condition.

2. Severe internal heat in the body: If a child urinates every few minutes, it may be caused by factors that cause severe internal heat in the body. This is directly related to the child’s long-term bad eating habits. For example, frequently eating spicy or overly dry food will cause severe internal heat in the body, which will affect the child’s normal urination. In order to improve the symptoms, you should pay attention to adjusting your child's diet. You can increase the amount of water you drink and eat more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins.
