What should I do if my baby always wets their pants?

Patient's question:

The baby is almost four years old. Since getting sick in March this year, she has been wetting her pants frequently, but each time it's only a small amount, about the size of her palm. I suspect it might be a bedwetting issue. What should I do? First follow-up question: The child had a cold for half a month this year in March.

Doctor's answer:

What to do if your child wets their pants after the age of 3
1. Treat urinary tract infections
If the doctor's examination reveals that your child has a urinary tract infection, antibiotics should be used immediately to control the infection.
2. Expand bladder capacity
If it is found that your child has a small bladder capacity, bladder function exercises should be performed:
Encourage your child to drink more water during the day and try to extend the interval between two urinations as much as possible.
Encourage the child to interrupt urination in the middle of urination, count from 1 to 10, and then empty the urine completely to improve the control ability of the bladder sphincter and gradually increase the bladder capacity.
