Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi,

Basically he is having polyuria with signs of dehydration and poor weight gain.This can not be attributed to urine infection. Painful urination is probably from mucosal irritation caused by frequent voiding. This can not be attributed to urine infection.

Here we have to rule out other important conditions like diabetes mellitus, diabetes insipidus, renal tubular acidosis. This need few lab tests like serum electrolytes, urine and serum osmolarity, renal function test, urine sodium & pH. Kindly discuss with a pediatrician.

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

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
