Patient's question:
My baby is 2 years old. Recently, whether it's day or night, as long as he's on the bed, he wets the bed every hour. The amount of water he drinks isn't much, just enough to maintain the basic daily intake. Could you please tell me what might be causing him to wet the bed so frequently lately?Doctor's answer:
Currently, the first step is to rule out frequent bedwetting, whether there are symptoms caused by a urinary tract infection. You can consult a pediatrician for an examination and undergo a routine urine test. If symptoms caused by a urinary tract infection are ruled out, it must be considered that this could be due to poor nutrition or kidney deficiency. The specific results need to be combined with the examination results. If it is a urinary tract infection, symptomatic treatment with cephalexin granules or the use of cephalexin antibiotic infusion is necessary.
