Bed-wetting: In a 4 yo bed-wetting is neither unusual or a sign of any other disorder. When no day-wetting occurs it doesn't suggest a bladder disorder or infection. Many have smaller bladder capacity & have not developed the capacity to wake when their bladder sends the signal at half full. One or both parents may have also been affected. Bladder stretching exercises (holding it) & pee alarms often help.

Yes : However, day time enuresis requires an evaluation. Bed wetting is different, it is a sleep disorder and usually goes away as child gets older.
