Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi sir,
I would suggest that you take the kid to your doctor. The kid could be having a Urinary Tract Infection, due to which there could be dribbling of urine and hence the kid is spending long time passing urine.

This could also cause abdominal discomfort and hence the kid is not able to sleep. There could also be bleeding while passing urine.
Your doctor would be the best person to further assist you after examinations and investigations.
