Patient's question:
My child might have enuresis. Since childhood, he has been prone to wetting the bed at night, waking up almost every night to urinate, usually once, occasionally twice. If he forgets to call or calls too late, he will wet the bed. He rarely wakes up on his own; usually, an adult has to wake him up, and it's very difficult to wake him. What should I do if a child has enuresis?Doctor's answer:
Your child should be examined promptly at a regular public hospital. Medications that nourish the brain and nerves can be used for treatment. Generally, if a child still frequently wets the bed after the age of 5, it is considered enuresis. Most cases are caused by underdeveloped brain and nerve function. The child should eat more vegetables and fruits. Avoid drinking water before going to bed at night. It is recommended to identify the root cause and use medication accordingly for treatment. Do not use medications blindly on your own.
