My 4 year old has recently started getting up in the middle of the night to go pee 4 or 5 times in a 30 minute period. He says there is no pain or burning when he goes, but he does just dribble, when he goes. (of course he would trying to go so many times) He drinks normally and goes normally during the day. He did have some issues with constipation a few weeks back and is currently taking Miralax once every 3 days. Could this be related?
His doctor said that he does not have an UTI. The doctor does not even seem the least bit concerned when I tell him about the issue. I have tried to talk to my son about it and all he says is that "he is afraid he is going to pee the bed". I try comforting him and telling him that "accidents happen, and mommy would just clean up the mess if he did wet the bed" sometimes this works, sometimes not. He never does this during the day, only at night. I don't know if I should take him for a second opinion, or just keep a watch on his behavior, Could this just be in his head????
Thanks for any help in advance!
