Hi
Thank you for your query
Your child suffers from primary nocturnal enuresis.
You should consult a pediatric surgeon. He will require a certain tests before we can rule out all causes for his condition. An ultrasound of the bladder and kidneys is a must. Further tests will depend on his results of ultrasounds. There are drugs like imipramine and oxybutynin which can prove helpful for your child but you should see a pediatric surgeon for doses and schedules
Hope that helps
God bless you
