Question
Hello doctor,
My baby is 16 months old, more than 10 kg. From this afternoon, ie January 8, 2020, I noticed that the baby showed signs of peeing, urinating many times, the urine was less wet in the crotch, not wet as before, the urine was clear. The baby is still playing normally with no other strange symptoms. So the doctor asked me to ask my 16-month-old baby to urinate many times a day, is it dangerous? I thank you.
