Patient's question:
Today I was hanging my bedding, and I noticed a large wet patch on the bed and a smell, so I knew the child had wet the bed again. But the child is already 7 years old this year, and I don’t know why they are still wetting the bed, so I wanted to ask the doctor, what are the reasons for a 7-year-old child wetting the bed?Doctor's answer:
A 7-year-old child showing symptoms of bedwetting should generally be checked for a urinary tract infection. If there is an existing condition like chronic otitis media, bacteria can easily spread upwards, causing urinary tract inflammation, which is also likely to lead to frequent urination and urgency. Additionally, it's important to observe for signs of malnutrition. If there is a deficiency in nutrition, oral medication to treat anemia can be administered.
