Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy1 Year agoA. Your child is having constipation for which kindly give plenty of water to drink and fibre diet made from cereals pulses vegetables and fruits.
Changes in diet has to be made
Specially give papaya, banana, oats, fennel seeds water pear, prune, pineapple, resins, plum as it will help in decreasing constipation.
Even after that the problem continues kindly meet your doctor for constipation medicine.
it is important for you to know that the problem of constipation will improve with increasing age of the child.
You may increase or decrease the dosage of constipation medicine if needed according to the consistency of the stool.
normally bedwetting is very common during the night time and the child is able to tell you regarding urination during the daytime.
usually this problems improves with increasing age of the child and usually no medicines are given until and unless recommended by the doctor( you can easily wait for ten years of age of the child)
usually treatment of medicines (if started) gives only symptomatic relief and the problem goes away only with increasing age with the strengthening of the muscles of the bladder which control the urination.
steps
decrease the amount of water intake just before going to bed and make the child pass urine befored going to sleep.
also you can wake up the child at around 2 o'clock 3 o'clock and make the child pass urine.
never criticized the child for this act because this will again aggravate the problem due to stress.
meet your doctor who will tell you more regarding this .
