How to deal with excessive sweating in children while sleeping

Patient's question:

These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits and it's affecting my work performance. Actually, I don't want to, either. I often can't sleep at night and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. What should I do if my child sweats a lot while sleeping?

Doctor's answer:

Babies sweating during sleep is common and not always a symptom of weak constitution or illness. Many parents believe their children have weak constitutions, leading to constant sweating. In fact, a significant portion of children experience physiological hyperhidrosis. This condition is often observed on the head and neck and typically occurs within the first half hour after falling asleep, subsiding within about an hour.
There are several causes of endocrine disorders in children. If a child is diagnosed with an endocrine disorder, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, including dietary adjustments to reduce gastrointestinal pressure, and fostering good hygiene habits. Children should maintain a balanced diet and avoid stimulating or cold foods.
