Find Alternatives to Medication
If there is a symptom, there is probably a pill out there for it, and wetting the bed is no exception. Desmopressin is a medication that is often recommended to reduce it, but this medication is usually reserved only for severe cases because it also has potential side effects. This medication works by lowering urine production. However, side effects include headaches, nausea, facial flushing, and possibly even water retention which can be severe and potentially dangerous.
When it comes to medications, they only treat the symptoms and not the cause. This means that when you stop taking the medication, the problem could start back again. If you are considering medicine for this problem, it is a good idea to discuss with the pediatrician the types of prescription medications that are available. You should also make sure that you know and understand the potential side effects of any medication in addition to any other viable alternatives.
