Q. my son wets his pants almost every day. Last year at school i had to take him clean pants at least once a week and sometimes that was after he wet his extras in his backpack at home he wears a diaper to bed my mom said that just makes it ok to pee but it's just at night he has been to the dr and has no medical problems like diabeates iv'e tried everything from rewards to taking away privilages to punishments please help!!
A. Lots of children wet the bed at night, so this in itself isn't too much of a worry, but it is rare for a 7 year old to wet himself so often during the day time. It could be a problem that the doctor hasn't picked up, in which case I would start making a bit more of a fuss at the doctor's surgery and insist on more tests, or a second opinion or a referral to a specialist. Utimately, I don't think a 7 year old would consciouly want to wet himself, as other kids of this age can be quite cruel and may laugh at him for doing so, so he will already be upset with himself for doing it, so punishments probably won't help. Does he know when he needs to pee? If he isn't aware of the feeling of a full bladder then there is almost definitely a medical problem.
Try to get him into a routine of when to go to the toilet. If he wets himself this regularly he really needs to go to the toilet to 'have a try' at least once every half an hour. His school should be understanding of this, and allow him to go to the bathroom this regularly. A school I worked in used a timer for a little boy who soiled himself often - when the timer went off he knew it was time to go to the bathroom. Perhaps there could be a quiet timer that could sit on his desk, so it wouldn't draw too many people's attention to it. The teachers wouldn't even need to say 'go to the toilet now' which may embarrass him, he would know to just get up and go. This may help to train his bladder to go at certain times of the day, and eventually your son could increase the time between trips to the bathroom. My friend's sisters sometimes wet themselves at school becuase they were too scared to ask to go to the toilet. If he is a nervous child he may just try to hang on as long as he can, so he won't have to ask, but then pass the point of no return! Having the rule of going at certain times will ensure that he gets there in plenty of time, and will also mean he won't have to ask, it will just become his normal routine.
I wet the bed when I was little, and as well as the usual no drinks before bedtime and going to the toilet just before getting into bed, my mum would also wake me up when she came to bed just enough to be able to lead me to the toilet to pee and then straight back to bed. This usually worked really well.

no matter how much i drink i feel dehydrated what is this?
Q. The back of my throat feels really dry and no, i dont feel a sore throat coming. One thing I noticed was that one of my salivary ducts has a mouth ulcer on it and its only painful if touched. The dr said it would go away soon. But anyway, could this dehydration feeling be the summer heat, a dysfunctional salivary duct, or something else?

How sericus can diabeates be to a person who is 30 ?
Q.
A. It depends on the person and how bad the diabetes is . If the person takes good care of themself and checks their sugar on a regular bases and takes their medicine like the doctor tells them, then it should be no problem. Some people have really high blood sugar and it is very hard to control. If they are not careful, they could get bad infections and even bad eyesight.
