Constant Thirst
I have a three year old son, who is constantly thirsty. He has been suffering for about 8 months, with frequent headaches, constant thirst and nose bleeds. At least three to four days out of the week. His peditrician checked him for diabetes about six months ago. As a parent, I am very concerned it is possibly something more and the condition is being overlooked. What could all of this mean?
I am a volunteer and a mom of a type one diabetic. I would suggest that if your son a has several of the symptoms below have him tested again for diabetes. If your doctor refuses go to another pediatrician. This is your daughter health. If the doctor cannot figure it out me would suggest getting a second opinion.
