A member asked:
Is it dangerous for a sick child to go longer than a day without urinating?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. or ER can check: Everybody should pee at least once a day. If a school-aged child hasn't urinated in 24 hours, her doctor or the ER can evaluate. Usually, the problem is a lack of fluids, and the solution is fluid replenishment either orally or by IV. Typically, a few hours of IV fluids solves the pee problem. Of course, some kids are much sicker and end up hospitalized. But first, a medical exam should be done.
