What Causes Dribbling Of Urine In A 8 Year Old?

Son is 8 1/2 years old...having trouble urinating...will dribble a little, but seems to be uptight and not being able to relax and empty all the way...He is nonverbal and autistic, so hard to know what he is feeling...also, the head of his penis seems to be turning purple a lot lately, especially when he sits down to pee (which he does, sits instead of stands to pee). When he finally does go a lot, he seems to keep dribbling at the end of urination as well...My son takes Risperdal and Clonidine, has been taking Claritin, and is now on Omnicef for tonsillitis...

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hello,

Risperidone can cause dysuria (difficulty or pain in urination). Clonidine can cause urinary retention (inability to empty bladder). These complaints may also be caused by urinary tract infection. Consult your doctor and get a urine examination and USG abdomen done to confirm exact cause of urinary complaints.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Khan Shoeb Mohammad Sher Mohammad
