By the age of 15, most children have outgrown bedwetting. If you haven’t already done so, please schedule an appointment with his doctor. His doctor can run tests that will determine if there are any medical issues that need to be addressed. His doctor can also discuss possible options that may include protection. Also, try to avoid drinks with caffeine as they can stimulate the bladder and make sure he goes to the bathroom several times before bed.
