Patient's question:
He is 3 and a half years old this year. It seems that his physique has an excess of yang energy, making him prone to sweating easily. Especially at night, as soon as he falls asleep, he starts to swell, and his pillow gets soaked with a large patch, while sweat forms layers on his back. We worry that he might get cold, so we often need to change 2 or 3 back pads, and each one comes out completely soaked.What kind of assistance would you like: "Infants sweat a lot at night—what is the reason?"
Doctor's answer:
When supplementing calcium for children, attention should also be paid to metabolism. Eat some cod liver oil. Get more sun exposure. Infants and toddlers have a high metabolism, so they sweat more. Some babies may sweat profusely when just falling asleep or about to wake up. It can be said that sweating at night is normal for the vast majority of infants. If it's just sweating during the first half of the night after falling asleep, it's considered normal. However, if sweating persists in the second half of the night, such as after 2 or 3 a.m., it could be a sign of excessive sweating. You can use astragalus root to make a soup and drink it to help reduce excessive sweating.
