Question
My child is 9 years old and frequently wets the bed at night. After taking medication for a year, they no longer wet the bed during the night while on the medication. However, after stopping the medication for a few weeks, they have started wetting the bed again at night. Should I continue with the medication, and for how long?
Answer
I am a doctor from Quick Ask Doctor, pleased to help clarify your concerns. Based on your description, I suggest you consider intermittent discontinuation of the medication. After not wetting the bed while on medication, you can start by stopping it for one day, carefully observe for a few days without bedwetting, then stop for two days, and gradually increase the interval as you go along.
