9 year old, when she needs to wee she needs to wee

[Becky771]

My daughter is 9 and for the past few years seems to have gone backwards and is having more accidents than ever. It started by her wetting the bed occasionally to this being every night. The bed wetting we can cope with and isn't the main issue but more recently she's been having regular accidents throughout the day some of these are more like a dribble than a full wee. Shes saying shes just not making it to the toilet in time. It's becoming a daily occurance and in all honesty kids are so crule and I don't want this to affect her. I just don't know what I can do to help, the gp offered to try medications whilst waiting for the children's continance team but this offer was removed by the more senior gp as they want her to see the continance team first but it's been over a year and still on a waiting list. Does anyone please have any advice on how I can help her in desperate? It's getting worse and more regular

Thabkyou in advance x

Constipation is the guilty culprit until proven otherwise even if you think they are going normally its almost certain they are constipated and causing the accidents
