Question
What external medications can be used to stick on the navel for children who occasionally wet the bed?
Answer
Occasional bedwetting in children may be due to relaxed bladder sphincters. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is categorized into types such as kidney Qi deficiency, spleen and lung Qi deficiency, liver meridian damp-heat, and heart-kidney disharmony. It is recommended to consume foods with kidney-nourishing and urine-reducing effects daily, such as lamb, dog meat, shrimp, bird meat, turtle meat, field chicken, dog kidney, pig bladder, chicken intestines, pork backbone, pond shrimp fish, and chrysanthemum leaves. Parents should pay attention to their child’s condition and seek medical treatment promptly to avoid affecting their growth and development.
