Question
A five-year-old boy still wets the bed at night, and his parents are concerned about the home remedies suggested by their elders, unsure of their safety and effectiveness. The parents want to know, are these home remedies for bedwetting reliable?
Answer
Occasional bedwetting in children is somewhat normal. If bedwetting persists over a long period, it is advisable to take the child to a regular hospital for a check-up. Additionally, parents can observe if the child is overly active during the day or consumes too much water before bedtime, and wake the child to urinate at times when bedwetting is anticipated. Over time, the child will naturally reduce instances of bedwetting. When dealing with bedwetting issues, it is important to avoid shaming or blaming the child to maintain their self-esteem. Wishing the child a healthy growth.
