Patient's question:
At the age of one, the child often sweats profusely during naps at night, with all his hair getting wet. From the perspective of both his mental state and physical condition, everything seems fine. However, there is some redness under his eyes, as if he hasn't rested well. Even during daytime play, slight movements cause him to sweat a lot. Excessive sweating can easily deplete the body's trace elements.Regarding the assistance needed: Hello, how can I help my child stop sweating during naps?
Doctor's answer:
It is a normal phenomenon for children to sweat while sleeping, as their sweat glands are relatively more developed. Sweat gland excretion is suppressed by the autonomic nervous system. After falling asleep, the vagus nerve becomes excited, leading to increased sweating. Generally, sweating is more common on the head and face, but it usually subsides within one to two hours after falling asleep. If sweating persists after sleeping and the amount is significant, it may indicate a functional disorder of the autonomic nervous system, which could also be caused by calcium deficiency in some cases. Taking calcium supplements twice a year is sufficient. The above suggestions are for the question "How to deal with children sweating coldly while taking a nap." I hope this is helpful to you.
