My 5 year old daughter went o the toilet 3 times while we were at the dinner table. Her teacher says that she goes very often when at school. Should I take her to the doctor? Could it be what she's drinking? Diabetes?

Any thoughts ?

Thanks

Google "child frequent urination" and read and then see doctor.

It might be an idea to have a urinalysis performed on her urine. This is just a dipstick and takes a couple of seconds at a clinic. It could rule out different reasons for her increased frequency; infection and diabetes being two. A doctor would be a good idea too.

urinary infection, however if this was the case it would be burning and I'm quite confident your daughter would tell you.

Terrible memories of those sticks - I used to work in a bacteriology lab.
