Daytime wetting usually comes from holding urine too long or a bladder that squeezes too early, often together with constipation, and it improves slowly over months with regular habits. Recommended supportive care with an emphasis on voiding on a schedule, relaxed posture on the toilet, water through the day, and keeping stools soft. Return precautions given including fever with urinary symptoms, back or side pain, trouble urinating, leg weakness or numbness, blood in the urine, new symptoms, prolonged symptoms, worsening symptoms, and other concerns. Caregiver expressed understanding and agreement with plan. Answered all questions.
