What should I do if my baby always wets their pants?

Patient's question:

The baby is almost four years old. Since getting sick in March this year, she has been wetting her pants frequently, but only a small amount each time, about the size of her palm. I suspect it might be a bedwetting issue. What should experts do? First follow-up question: The child had a cold for half a month this year in March.

Doctor's answer:

What to do if a child urinates in their pants after the age of 3?
1. Treating urinary tract infections If the doctor's examination reveals that your child has a urinary tract infection, antibiotics should be immediately used to control the infection.
2. Expanding bladder capacity If it is found that your child has a smaller bladder capacity, bladder function exercises should be performed: Encourage your child to drink more water during the day and try to extend the interval between two urinations. Encourage the child to interrupt urination in the middle of urination, count from 1 to 10, and then empty the urine completely to improve the control ability of the bladder sphincter and gradually increase the bladder capacity.
