Nocturnal enuresis is one of the most common pediatric urinary disorders affecting the psychological, emotional, and social well being of children and their families. This article presents a detailed homoeopathic case of Primary Monosymptomatic Nocturnal Enuresis (PMNE) in an 11 year old male child treated constitutionally with individualized homoeopathic medicines based on totality of symptoms and Kentian philosophy. The case demonstrates the importance of detailed case taking, understanding emotional background, family dynamics, mental generals, and follow up interpretation. Initially prescribed Causticum produced partial improvement, but recurrence and relapse indicated the need for re evaluation of the constitutional state. Subsequent detailed re case taking revealed deeper Lycopodium traits, following which Lycopodium clavatum resulted in marked improvement and eventual cessation of bed-wetting episodes. The case highlights the dynamic nature of chronic prescribing and the importance of constitutional assessment in paediatric psychosomatic disorders.References
