At five years old, if you sweat a lot, how can it be treated?

Patient's question:

Five years old, usually sweats a lot, doesn't cover the blanket when taking a nap, but still sweats a lot. Is it a deficiency? What should I eat?
Medical history and treatment effectiveness: None.
Assistance needed: I want to ask if there is a deficiency.

Doctor's answer:

Sweating is mainly related to rapid catabolism, but children with excessive thirst are prone to colds more often. It is rare for them to truly be constitutionally weak. Most cases involve kicking off the blanket in their sleep due to sweating, leading to a chill, which should be distinguished from fever caused by constitutional weakness.
Advice: Among children with excessive thirst, there are also a few who do not accumulate internal heat, showing symptoms such as excessive sweating, frequent fever and cough, and aversion to cold. Even slight physical activity can cause them to sweat. For such children, it is not advisable to blindly use tonics or supplements. Instead, the spleen and stomach can be regulated. For example, Yu Ping Feng San.
