Question
A 7-year-old child still frequently wets the bed, at least three times a week, and it is difficult for them to control it themselves. How should this situation be handled? Is it related to a deficiency of nutritional substances?
Answer
For children who continue to wet the bed at the age of 7, it is usually not due to a lack of trace elements in the body, but may be related to malnutrition and insufficient Kidney Qi. It is recommended to administer medication that tonifies Kidney Qi, such as Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan, and increase nutritional intake, such as eating one egg daily and regularly consuming black beans to tonify Kidney Qi. As the child grows older, the bedwetting condition is expected to improve naturally.
