Son frequent urination?

A few weeks ago my 5 year old son started urinating frequently. I did not think much of it until it didn’t go away and instead got more frequent (usually only 5-25 min without peeing). It is bad enough that it makes trips to town or anything very difficult. He says there is no pain when he pees and he is still pooping regularly. What is going on and how soon does he need to be seen?

Should get seen quickly to make sure this isnt early diabetes vs just psychogenic Get Outlook for iOShttpsaka.mso0ukef
I think your son should be seen by his pediatrician soon. Sometimes diabetes can present this way. He needs to have a urine sample analyzed for infection or signs that the kidneys are not functioning properly
