Patient's question:
My son is four and a half years old. Recently, for the past half month, he has been wetting the bed almost every night. When he turned four, I stopped using diapers for him, but I don’t know why he’s been wetting the bed about twice a week during this period. I want to know what causes bedwetting in children?Doctor's answer:
If the baby has recently had a cold or fever and has taken medication or been on a medication regimen, some babies may even experience a regression in growth and development. Alternatively, excessive fright or stomach issues and infections can also lead to bedwetting. Therefore, it is essential to pay attention to various aspects when caring for the baby and adopting a caring and loving approach. At the same time, persuasion and guidance should be used. Offer the baby more encouragement and build their confidence. Ensure the baby gets sufficient deep sleep during the day and appropriate naps. Generally, avoid giving the baby liquid food after 6 p.m. Before the baby goes to sleep in the evening, make sure they empty their bladder. When the adults take a nap, wake the baby up once. With gradual adjustment over a period of time, the condition should improve.
