frequent urination toddler

[Taynicst]

Our daughter will be 4 on December 1st. For the past 10 days she has the urge to urinate very frequently. She rushes to the bathroom afraid she will have an accident. But when we get to the bathroom most of the time she will only go a very little bit. For example, in a little over 2 hours she went 5 times. She is not constipated. She has been potty trained for over a year and has had no significant changes in lifestyle or routines. What could be causing this change in behavior pattern?

bladder infection,uti,or if she is on any medications may trigger the bladder

my daughter will be 4 in January. She goes to the bathroom anywhere from 5 to 10 times an hour.  We have gotten her checked and they did find blood in her urine. The Doctor prescribed 70 novo-trimel susp. She took the full 7 day dosage.  The frequent urination did not stop.  She doesnt appear to be in any sort of pain.  I took her back to the doctor.  The infection cleared up. I told the doctor the constant pee breaks were still happening. The doctor prescribed an estragin cream to be applied twice daily she then told me to re-visit if there is still a problem in 2-3 weeks. This seems like a long tome if this behaviour keeps up. Do you have any other suggestions or could it be just a fettish with the toilet?

I would have her checked for a bladder infection (UTI) We have had plenty of these and 3-4 is the age when girls tend to get them frequently
