Can Taking Prednisolone Cause Bed Wetting In Child?

My son is almost 4 years old, and he hasn t wet the bed in almost a year. His doctor recently gave him Prednisolone and ever since he started taking it he s wet the bed every night. And it s so unlike him. I don t know if it s the medication, I have read it can cause bed wetting and I need to call the doctor but I cannot do that until tomorrow. Anything I should know about it before then ?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for putting your query up at HealthCareMagic. It is not unlikely that a child of this age may wet the bed. You have not mentioned the reason for which he has been given prednisolone. Rather than the medicine being related, the ailment he is suffering from, for which he has been given prednisolone, may also be behind it. I can only comment with adequate data. You can develop a reward system for your child in order to demote bed-wetting and that might provide relief.

Hope that helps. Feel free to revert back with further queries if any.
