It could mean that your nephew is dehydrated and is not drinking enough water or doesnt have enough electrolytes in his body. To solve this you can give him pedialyte popsicles and they also have drinks or you can use the good old Gatorade drinks that work just fine!

It could be diabetes. This is usually the first sign. An abnormal thirst that will not go away for example the more you drink the more you want to drink and I don't mean alcohol, even with plain water you can be like that. Get it checked out with the doctor.

It be a lot of things, or nothing, so try not to worry - but at his age I'd get him checked out asap (today if possible!) just incase. Hope he's ok xxx If it turns out he does have diabetes it's pretty overwhelming at first but he will have a 'normal' life with it! If you have any questions you know where to ask! Good luck - hope he's ok xxxx

This could be the onset of diabetes. Small children can have it. Take him to the doctores where a simple check can be carried out

He's only 1. It may not always be thirst, it may be hunger, too. One-year-olds grow fast and burn a lot of calories with their walking and running.

Could be diabetes mellitus (Type 1 diabetes or frequently called childhood diabetes). It could be that he is jsut constantly thirsty. My 3 yr old is constantly thirsty and he is fine. However, my 11month old is constantly thirsty and is a result of his renal hypertension. Please consult you physician/pediatrician because they will know the tests to run, such as a fasting blood sugar or complete blood work up.

get him checked, hope its not diabetes, but my grandson who is the same age, has a big thirst some days, but not others, probably depending on how active he is and how available his drink is to him

Personally I think its nothing. My four year old son did the same for about 3 years. If you are worried though go see a doctor.

first, attempt and paintings by your issues inclusive of your sister until now you leave... no rely what share probs you 2 have, you would be apologetic approximately no longer attempting if something occurs to her while you're in another usa. next, ask her in case you may deliver enjoying cards and letters to your nephew, and ask if she would have the ability to study them to him... and there is often the alternative of sending "care applications" to your sister, and her family. Little issues which you would be able to get the place you would be residing, that they might no longer be waiting to get here in the states... in the event that they are like maximum folk, they are going to savour the gesture if no longer something... and that they might desire to understand which you care, and you are attempting... i desire this enables

For goodness sake get him checked out by a doctor. Do not wait for complications to set in, which may ruin his life. He could lose his sight.
