4 yr old boy with uncontrollable urgency

My 4 year old son goes to the bathroom to urinate about 30 times per day. He has no complains of pain and there have been no signs of infection. Should I take him to his pediatrician or go directly to the Urologist?
I'm scare that this can affect his kidneys.

Please help

My 3 year old daughter also is urinating about every 15 to 30mins. This has been goinin on since Aug. We are still going thru testing. With my persistance they ran urine cultures (not just dipping the urine, this showed nothing)  It has come thru that she has staph infection.  So far no antibiotics have worked. she has been for an ultrasound wich was clear,and is now schedualed for VCUG on thurs.

I agree with the last comand. Your son most likely has a urinary tract infection. Get him to a doctor as soon as possible. Things can deteriorate rather fast. Watch for fever, sickness and other possible signs that are not normal. Most of all don't wait, get hiom treated as soon as possible.
From my own experience things can go verry fast. From feeling not well one minute to having a kidney infection and needing to be hospitalized can take place in less then 4 hours.
I cincerely hope that your son will be well soon.

God bless,

Ron

No doubt. You should do that. Check him for UTI or anything the doctor suggests. He is too young for UTI, but he needs urgent care, for sure.

It sounds like he has diabetes. Take him to a GP immediately
