Question
A four-year-old boy is experiencing frequent bedwetting, occurring every four to five days. The parents have already started controlling the child’s evening fluid intake but are still hoping to understand if this situation is normal and if there are effective methods to help improve this issue.
Answer
It is not normal for a four-year-old boy to wet the bed frequently. Typically, by the age of two or three, children should be able to control their bladder. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a check-up to determine if the child has a hidden spinal bifida. If no hidden spinal bifida is found, consider using tartaric acid tolterodine tablets. Additionally, ensure that the bladder is emptied before bedtime, and control fluid intake after dinner. Train the child to extend the interval between bathroom visits. Wishing the child a healthy growth.
