There are other medications that can be helpful as well, and the physician can guide you. Medications that decrease urine output, are not very effective, and very expensive. My six year old son has recently begun wetting his pants during the day. He has never experienced nighttime enuresis and says that he just can't make it to the bathroom in time. The sudden onset and consistency of this behavior is of concern.
Any advice is appreciated.
The onset of daytime wetting, as you describe, should be investigated. If this is not an isolated incident, there are many reasons for this, and a pediatric urologist should be consulted. The pediatrician or family practice doctor, will either refer you, or do some of the evaluation. The possibility of urinary tract infection should be investigated first. If so, a VCUG should be ordered, as well as a sonogram of the kidneys and bladder.
