Question
My child is 9 years old and still wets the bed. What should I do?
Answer
The issue of bedwetting at night in children may be caused by a deficiency in Yang and coldness in the lower part of the body. It is suggested that you take your child to a nearby pediatrician for a diagnosis to receive professional medical advice and appropriate treatment. If it’s not convenient to see a doctor, you can consider temporarily using Shuizhuan Wan and Shenling Baizhu Wan, but please follow the minimum dosage instructions on the medication leaflet and use them only as a short-term remedy. At the same time, increase your child’s physical activity appropriately and avoid putting unnecessary psychological pressure on them. Additionally, you can help your child rub their lower back warm before bedtime, three times a week, for about a month to observe if there is any improvement.
