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 training. Treatment needs a multi-disciplinary approachhi where counselling restriction of fluid intake at night and proper training for voiding of urine are important . Any urine infection needs to be treated accordingly.

A. 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 before going to sleep. also you can wake up the child at around 2 o'clock 3 o'clock and mxake the child pass urine. never criticize 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 .
