Question
My child is over 5 years old and has a weak body. He doesn’t wake up to urinate at night, and sometimes he also soils his pants. I want to give him ginseng, Korean ginseng, etc., but I’m not sure if it’s appropriate. I would like to ask for advice from everyone.
Answer
Bedwetting is quite common in young children. If a child cannot control urination during the day or does not wake up from sleep to use the bathroom by the age of 3, it is called primary nocturnal enuresis. The exact cause of bedwetting is not clear, but it is related to genetic factors. Children who have a family history of bedwetting with a parent or guardian may also have this problem.
