My two year old is excessivly thirsty?

Question

Today it was brought to my attention that my two and half year old drinks a ton and guzzles down every glass, when I say a ton I mean 10 large sippey cups during the day and one or two at night. He poops constantly, usually dirraeha constantsy, and is always fussy for no reason. He also urnates a ton peeing through diapers is not an unusual thing in this house, and he also has unexplanable blistery diaper rashes which have gotten better by age. He wears cloth diapers, and since he urinates so much I change him almost every hour, so in my oppinon he shouldnt be getting rashes like this. The doctors at one time told me the rashes were caused by milk allergies but he doesnt drink milk at all now and still gets the rashes. Please help Im very conserned!

Answer 1

Please take your son to the pediatrician and tell him/her about the amount of fluid intake and the other symptoms. There are several things this could be and extreme thirstiness is often the first sign of diabetes. It is very important that you see the pediatrician so he/she can determine if this is normal for your child or if there is a medical problem.

Answer 2

I agree, I am also an RN. You need to get your son to the Doctor.
