Hello,

Excessive urination is not a common in children but possible causes are:

1. Urinary tract infection may cause burning micturition and increased frequency of urine.
2. Diabetes insipidus: It is again central and nephrogenic both may cause excessive urination due to deficiency of vasopressin.
3. Diabetes mellitus: This is due to deficiency of insulin hormone from birth may cause polyuria, polydipsia, excessive intake of food, and weight loss.
4. Urogenital abnormalities et cetera.

Please consult your pediatrician get it done blood sugar levels, urine examination, serum vasopressin levels and ultrasound abdomen and get treated accordingly.
