Since starting a course of antibiotic medicine (yellow liquid)for a throat infection, DD(9)has not had a dry night since. She was really knocked out with the throat infection and cold, but this has now gone on for over 2 weeks after finishing the medicine.
Getting dry has been an ongoing issue, and I wondered if anyone had any ideas if the colours/flavours in the medicine might cause her to be wet again? Cutting out certain brands of juice, and being careful with food colours were important in getting her dry first time around.
She never had a dry night until she was 7, was then dry for about 6 months but then relapsed totally for about a year. She has only been dry again since the Spring, and with DD2 still wet every night I could do without another winter of sodden sheets and bedding to face every morning. She is really upset too, as this limits sleepovers and trips so much for her, having to deal with the practical problem, plastic sheets and so on, as well as making excuses for not staying at friends.
Any ideas? In the meantime we are back to cutting out drinks and insisting she visit the loo before bed. Even then, the bed has still been absolutely soaked every night. She doesn't wake up once she is wet - but then she never has done.
