Should my 12-year-old use bedwetting medication?
Sometimes, this could be due to delayed maturation of the bladder control mechanism. Since you mentioned that there are no underlying medical or academic issues, it's likely just a matter of time before your son's bladder catches up. In the meantime, it might be helpful to limit fluids a couple of hours before bedtime and encourage him to use the bathroom right before sleeping. Using a bedwetting alarm or medication like desmopressin can also be considered after consulting with your pediatrician.
