Patient's question:
What should I do if a 7-year-old child still wets the bed? At least 3 times a week, the child asks how he can't hold it in, but he can't explain it clearly. Could it be that the child is lacking some nutrients, which is why he can't control himself from wetting the bed even at this age? How can I treat him?Doctor's answer:
When the child still experiences bedwetting, it is not due to a lack of trace elements in the body, but rather because of poor physical nutrition and insufficient kidney qi. Treating the child with herbs that tonify kidney qi, such as Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan, can help improve the condition. Additionally, increasing the child's nutrition, such as eating one egg daily and regularly consuming black beans, can also benefit kidney qi and alleviate symptoms. It is also considered that as the child grows, the condition may gradually improve.
