###Human: Is it normal for a child to urinate frequently? ###Assistant: Hi. From what you are describing, there may seem to be an overactive bladder. It is more during the day and normal at night in this case. In such cases, it is usually transient. I would also want to know the psychological state of this child if he has been shouted at or beaten by someone. Since this is a very common reason for such a phenomenon, it should go away in a while once the offending agent is taken care of. It is advisable to do an ADH level for this child if this persists for more than a week. Oxybutynin may need to be started if symptoms are severe and not resolving.
