Question
My eldest son is about to turn four, but he still frequently wets the bed, happening roughly every four to five days. To avoid this, I have started strictly controlling his water intake at night. Is it normal for a four-year-old boy to wet the bed often? Are there any effective methods that can help improve this issue for the child?
Answer
It is not normal for a four-year-old boy to frequently wet the bed. Generally, children between two and three years old are able to control their urination. I suggest taking your child to the hospital for a check-up to determine if they have a hidden spinal bifida. If no hidden spinal bifida is found, you can consider using tartaric acid tolterodine tablets. Additionally, ensure that your child empties their bladder before bedtime and control their fluid intake after dinner. You can also train your child to extend the intervals between urination.
