A. Bed wetting is a common complaint of many kids specially in the toddler age group . this is considered normal till the age of 5-6 years because many a time bladder control comes by this age . If it continues beyond this age it needs proper assessment. There could be many associated factor and the most important is the stress or fear related factor also there could be some chronic urine infection or lack of proper toilet trairtning. Treatment needs a multi-disciplinary approach where counselling restriction of fluid intake at night and proper training for voiding of urrine are important . Any urine infection needs to be treated accordingly.

A. Try prescription medications. Occasionally, a child could be prescribed desmopressin as a short-term solution for bed-wetting. This medication retains water in the body, so the child's bladder does not get too full overnight. There are a few possible side effects with medication, which should be discussed with your child's health care team. The medication is more effective in older children, and the overall success rate is about 30%. Usually, other strategies, including time, are tried before medications.
