Bed Wetting and teeth grinding

Hi,
My child who is 6 years has the following problems,dont know if they are all related. Please guide me
1.He has been bed wetting every day in the morning.
2.He grinds his teeth while sleeping. I have dewormed him in the past ( about 3 months back using allopathy).
3.He also twitches immediately after falling asleep, 5 minutes later he seems fine.
4.Is scared of the dark and refuses to go the room without light.
5.Moves around a lot while sleeping and since he has lost some teeth is also dripping saliva on the pillow.
6.Is extremely emotional with us his parents, but is able to handle everything very well outside.

Otherwise he is a very intelligent and smart child. Is very coginitive about his environment and coherent in his thoughts. He seems to prefer spicy food over sweets and eats his vegetables and fruits. He is a bit underweight for his age and also slightly shorter too.

Please guide me as to what I can give for the above issues.

Regards
vishva

1.Please explain what you mean by twitching
As soon as he falls asleep, first his fingers and toes move. And once in a while he jerks his lower limbs. We have mostly seen this when he sleeps during the day. In the night although the fingers and toes do move havent noticed the jerking, he shifts most times, before settling down.

2.What do you mean he is emotional with parents
When we reprimand him for the smallest issue, he is in tears.For instance when we tell him that he needs to go to the bathroom the last thing in the night, it is always a struggle. Most days he is in tears before he consents.Although he is easily pacified, he does take us too seriously most times. When he is a bit unwell needs to be held and consoled.He also has this constant habit of talking to us while trying to look at the other person,especially when he trying to show off something. Havent been able to break that habit, have told him that he can show it to that person directly or talk to us.

3.When was he potty trained
Although he was aware of the need to go to the toilet since he was 2, long durations outside the house and in the night- he was in diaper. This continued until 3. At that stage when he started school, we put him in training pants and for almost a year, he would have these accidents even while at school.Mostly just a wet underpants and nothing shows on the outside. From about 4 he has been dry during the day and the nights had accidents on/off.


4.Was he successfully potty trained

From the above, I dont really know if it was successful or not because he continued to have accidents.

5.How long did he remain in control of his urine after training
After training, he could go for a 2 hours before feeling the need to urinate. Most times when he was playing was when he would wet his pants. And also they were just trickles enough to wet his underpants. We had to see it and ask him to go to the toilet.

6.Can you relate any activity or incident which might have triggered this e.g. starting school, any accident or death in family, you moving, change of school etc. This is important.
He did start off school at 3, which is when we stopped using diapers when he was out for a prolonged period. And since then, we havent gone too long without these accidents happening. That was also the time of my second childs birth.The summer months are sometimes good,where he is more dry on most days. The last 3 months, he has been bed wetting almost every single day. It also coincided with the time that my other child had a seizure attack and needed some extra attention.Another factor is that it has been cold these last 3 months too.

7.What were the symptoms of febrile seizures
He was 2 and had viral fever (100-102).In the middle of the night he had a seizure attack-shaking of both the legs and hands. No rolling of the eyes and no frothing in the mouth.Lasted for less than 15 seconds and was tired immediately. We rushed him to the ER and was asked to administer frisium. We delayed it , wanting to have the opinion of our regular paediatrician. During the day when we were with our ped, he had another attack , similar to the one in the night and this time when we went back to the ER, they also did a spinal tap to check for meningitis. Didnt find anything and was given frisium immediately. We were advised to give him this tablet for the first 2 days of fever until he turns 5. But after the first episode , we gave it to him only until he turned 3( a total of 2 times). And since we felt he was handling his fever better, we stopped and never went back.

8.What is the color of his boogers (nose pick)
When it is dry, meaning no cold, then it is dark green- to dark brown.But if he does have a cold and blows it, it is light green liquid. And we have had a few incidences of his nose bleeding because of his picking of the nose.

9.What is the smell of urine like
Acidic and a little cloudy.

Some additional details:
Also I forgot to mention that he had UTI when he was about 8 months old. We did get an ultrasound scan done to check for internal anomalies and did not find anything.He was treated with antibiotics.
As a child( before he turned 3) he would be constipated more often and he would go a few days( 2-3days) before going to the potty. But since he started school, he has been regular.
He also bites his nails, very little and vary rarely these days.
Some days, maybe once in 2 weeks he complains of stomach pain, near the navel. At those times we ask him to try going to potty and most times that solves the problem. At other times with enough distraction he seems to be just fine.

I believe your remedy is Belladonna 200c.

Please take two doses 12 hrs apart. Just two doses. Not daily.

One dose is one pill. Dissolve the pill under the tongue.

If liquid remedy, put one drop of the remedy in half glass of water, stir and take one tea spoon from it. That’s one dose. Use the same mixture for subsequent doses, if required. Don’t refrigerate the mixture. Put it anywhere covered, away from direct sunlight.

First dose: At night before sleeping.

Second dose: 12 hrs after the first dose.

Report back with changes observed.

Alright, I will procure the same and start it. Will let you know when I have given them. Any side effects I need to be aware of? And any restrictions while taking the remedy?
Also thank you for taking the time to review my case.
 
Vishva last decade
Stop all other medicines & remedies.

I am looking for some sort of aggravation in any or all symptoms.

No side effects, just temporary aggravation.

Don't try anything new with strong odors/aroma for a few days.
