Question
My child is now 5 years old and has been potty-trained for a long time. He behaves well during the day, but many times he will wet the bed at night. I am always worried when I sleep, as he is too old to use diapers. What is going on with bedwetting in a 5-year-old boy?
Answer
It is normal for a 5-year-old to experience such a situation, but it is important to note that attention should be given to the child’s good living habits and dietary habits. There is no need to worry excessively; bedwetting requires comprehensive treatment. Avoid intense activities before the child goes to sleep, limit fluid intake, maintain a regular lifestyle, and if necessary, consult a regular hospital. Do not self-medicate.
