Nocturnal enuresis

When to make a doctor’s appointment

Make an appointment to see a doctor if:

• Child still wets the bed after age 7
• Child starts to wet the bed after a few months or more of being dry at night
• Painful urination, unusual thirst, pink or red urine, hard stools, or snoring

Self-care

Limiting how much a child drinks in the evening, avoiding beverages and foods with caffeine, and encouraging regular toilet use throughout the day may help.
