Patient's question:
My older child is almost four years old and still frequently wets the bed. Every few days, he'll wet it once. Now at night, I strictly control the amount of water he drinks. Is it normal for a four-year-old boy to wet the bed frequently? Are there any good methods to help correct this?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is not normal for a 4-year-old boy to wet the bed frequently. At the age of two or three, he should usually be able to control urination. It is best to have him checked at the hospital for X-rays to see if he has hidden spina bifida. If there is no hidden spina bifida, he can take tartaric acid Tiotropium tablets. He must empty his bladder before bed, control water intake after meals, and usually train the baby to extend the interval between urination. Wishing your baby good health.
