Question
Why does my child, who is now 6 years old, still occasionally wet the bed? How can I help him?
Answer
Bedwetting in children can be multifaceted, often related to incomplete development of the nervous system. Generally, by the age of 6, children should no longer wet the bed. However, if bedwetting persists, it is advisable to take your child to a neurology department in the hospital for examination and relevant tests to determine the cause and adopt appropriate treatment methods. Additionally, you can limit your child’s fluid intake before naptime, avoid excessive excitement, and wake your child up at regular intervals at night to urinate. Over time, this training can help improve the bedwetting issue.
