Bed wetting( nocturnal enuresis) is  found in many children. Clinical examination should be done by a urologist/physician to rule out any occult or apparent neurological deficit. There is a spontaneous cure rate over the year. Child should not be scolded for the problem to avoid any guilt feeling in her. General measures are , Restriction of fluid in the evening, Timely making child awake to ask her to go for urination,alarm watch awakening at regular intervals. Good drugs of the group of SSRI are available to help.anti diuretic drugs in form of oral tab or nasal spray also available. Consult a urologist for full assessment and possible need of drugs with appropriate doses.
