What Causes Daytime Wettings?

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...My almost 7 year old son has suddenly ( last 4 days) had daytime wetting accidents 3 times. It consists of a very small amount of urine to just dribbles. He has been potty trained since he was 2.5 years and has not had an accident in years. He says it does not burn or hurt when he pees but it just surprises him. Seeing a doctor tommorrow. Very worried. Michelle

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello Michelle. Firstly, do not worry. A previously toilet trained child who suddenly bedwets usually might have a urinary infection. Get a complete urine analysis done and see a doctor in case there is a problem. Meanwhile, give him more water to drink so that he urinates frequently which will help with the infection, if any. In case of an infection, a course of anibiotics should do the job. So do not worry too much.
