Question
A child is 5 years old, but what’s causing bedwetting at night?
Answer
If a child has nocturnal enuresis before the age of four, it is a normal phenomenon and should not be treated. However, if a child is over four years old or if enuresis occurs frequently, it is best to treat this condition. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that a child’s enuresis is mainly caused by kidney deficiency, which leads to loss of fluid due to phlegm, resulting in bedwetting. If treated, a child can take diuretic pills for treatment. Wishing the child good health.
