Patient's question:
My first-grade son is 7 years old this year. He plays happily with his classmates every day and runs around the school playground like a rabbit. When he comes home from school, he runs home panting. Every morning when he gets up, I see that he has wet the bed again. Is it normal for a 7-year-old child to still wet the bed?Doctor's answer:
Your good friend, for situations like this with your child, you should observe a bit more during the day. Is your child drinking too much water at night? If they drink a lot at night and also sleep very soundly, it's possible they might wet the bed. This doesn't need to be overly worrying. If it happens frequently, it's recommended that the mom takes the child to see a doctor for some tests to find out the cause of the bedwetting.
