Question
My son is already eight years old, and according to common sense, he should no longer wet the bed. However, he still does occasionally, even if I make sure he goes to the bathroom before taking a nap every day. Is it because there is something wrong with his growth and development? How should I treat my child’s bedwetting?
Answer
Bedwetting in children may be related to functional disorders and could be a result of incomplete growth and development, associated with issues of incontinence. It requires consultation and guidance for further detailed examination to confirm the specific cause of the child. Then, strictly adhere to the medical treatment instructions and use symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication as prescribed. In the future, attention should be given to the rationality of the child’s diet and guidance should be provided to gradually correct this undesirable habit.
