Child Has Stomach Cramps, Increased Urge To Urinate. Explain Condition
My son, Dylan aged nineteen has led relatively healthy lifestyle. He plays football regularly and eats a well balanced diet. Six months ago, Dylan was admitted to hospital due to an extremely bad viral infection. Since he was released from hospital, Dylan is always thirsty and drinks around eight liters of water each day. He also complains of stomach cramps and an increase need to urinate. Dylan stayed a night at a friend’s house before a football match. This friend’s dad has a blood sensor kit and both Dylan and his friend tested their levels before dinner. Dylan’s reading was 38 mmol/L. Could you please diagnose my son’s condition and explain why he is suffering like so. Could you also tell me the treatment or action that should be taken.
