Hi,

If your child is looking puffy and still bed wets then I suggest a routine urine examination to rule out any urinary problem, the most common being Nephrotic Syndrome.

Steroids are known to cause weight gain but the weight does come down after discontinuing the drug.

I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.

good evening, as far as i know the drug sigulair is the brand name for the drug MONTELUKAST inhibitor which is given to control symptoms of asthama, and it is not a steroid. so i dont think thats the cause for her weight gain, u ll have to look into her day to day activities ,excersies, her diet whether its a fatty diet filled with junk foods etc . bed wetting is another social issue i would rather put it across as. it can be controlled by behavioural changes- like not taking liquid food after 8 in the night, making sure that she passes urine before bed and wakes uo aftre 2 hrs of sleep to pass urine again, reward her on the day she dosent bed wet. etc, it ll take along time for her to adjust to this regieme. do not loose hope. if she stiol continues to bed wet, then drugs to stop bed wetting have to be used. rare possibility of abnormal wight gain will be endocrinal abnormalities, most common being hypothyroidism. so to clear ur doubts its always better for ur child to be examined by the doctor personally.
