If he received a lot of IV fluids then it may be him passing the excess. This can also be a side effect of any steroids if he received that while getting treatment. It may be a sign if something else going on such as a kidney, bladder or blood sugar problem. It if continues then it is best to have him rechecked to see what is changing
