Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi.. most common cause of decreased urine is decreased oral intake. I think you should keep a watch on oral intake of the child. If it is less just try to increase the fluids. Another thing that is worrisome is the repeated urinary tract infection. I think urine examination to look for infection and culture of urine for the growth of organisms and their drug sensitivity pattern should be done. Also abdominal ultrasound should be done to look for any abnormalities of the urinary tract or any reflux of urine. Please let me know if you have any more doubts about the investigation so that I could be of help.
