What medicine should children take for bedwetting

Bedwetting is a very common problem for babies, but it gradually decreases as they grow older. However, if a child wets the bed, parents should not be careless, especially if it happens repeatedly. Do not simply solve the problem. This is generally a problem with the excretion system. Try to give your child less drinking water before going to bed. This article introduces the medications that can be used to treat bedwetting in children. Parents who have this need can take a look at it.

There is currently no specific drug to treat enuresis in children. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the pathogenesis of enuresis in children is the production and excretion of urine, which is related to qi transformation, water channels and bladder. The fundamental cause of the disease lies in qi deficiency in the lungs, spleen and kidneys. The strength or weakness of the three internal organs' qi directly affects whether urine excretion is normal. The result of qi deficiency in the three internal organs is bladder deficiency and coldness. Therefore, Qi deficiency in the lungs, spleen, and kidneys is the "root cause", and bladder dysfunction is the "symptom". The main treatment method is to nourish the lungs, spleen and kidneys, and consolidate and block the source, using a two-pronged approach. The root cause of enuresis is deficiency, so replenishing the deficiency is the first priority. Treatment measures:

1. Chinese medicine replenishes the body and consolidates the body. Prescriptions and medicines available: Astragalus membranaceus, Atractylodes macrocephala, Polygonatum sibiricum, Poria cocos, Alpinia oxyphylla, Rehmannia glutinosa, Radix Glycyrrhizae, Red dates, and Acorus calamus. Decoction in water and increase or decrease the amount of medicine according to the child's weight, cold or heat, deficiency or excess condition.

2. Massage to nourish the kidneys and benefit the Du meridian. The child lies on his back, and the parents massage the area below the child's navel with the palm of their hand, rotating and massaging 30 times. The child then lies prone and uses the palm of their hand to push and rub along the spine from bottom to top 30 times. Massage once a day before going to bed, and one week is a course of treatment.

3. Appropriately increase children's nutrition in normal times, supplement vitamin A, D and milk in appropriate amounts to promote children's growth and development.

4. Adjust your lifestyle habits. Measures such as drinking less water before going to bed, eating less fruits with high water content, avoiding excessive activity at night, and waking up children appropriately to urinate at night can be taken.

5. Children with enuresis generally have an inferiority complex. Parents should use consolation and encouragement instead of scolding and punishing them, so that the children can build up confidence and believe that bedwetting can be cured.
