Children's health is the primary concern of all parents. Symptoms of some diseases are visible to the naked eye: cough, fever, runny nose, etc. However, there are diseases, the presence of which can only be guessed. In this article we will talk about issues related to the functioning of the urinary system of children. After all, there are situations when parents notice that the child often goes to the toilet for a small one. What is it? A normal condition or a sign of a developing ailment?
The child often goes to the toilet in smallThe simplest and most natural explanation for this condition of the baby can be a large amount of liquid drunk by him. Frequent urination can also occur due to eating melon and watermelon. In this case, do not panic. The urge to the toilet is quite natural and after a while will stop. However, if the child often runs around the little one for two to three days, parents should consult a doctor. This symptom may indicate a number of diseases.
Age features
The body of the baby is very different from the adult. In a newborn, the kidney development process, as a rule, is not fully completed. The formation of this body lasts several years. Therefore, how a child often goes to the toilet in a small way depends on age . Babies usually pee 20 to 25 times a day. In this case, the urine of the newborn can be light yellow or even brick in color. Children one to two years old write from 14 to 16 times a day. Three-year-olds - about ten times. As they grow older, the child visits the toilet much less frequently. Four to six-year-olds go small up to eight times a day, older children - no more than six. By comparing your child’s age and urination, you can determine if everything is normal.
Urinary Disorders

Turbid urine with an unpleasant odor is an occasion for an immediate visit to the doctor.
