Why do children easily sweat when sleeping?

Patient's question:

What kinds of diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? Why do children sweat easily when sleeping?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, most cases of night sweats in children are physiological. This is because children have more moisture in their skin, rich capillaries, and a highly active metabolism. Additionally, their autonomic nervous system regulation is not yet fully developed, making them prone to sweating.
You can also check your child for trace elements to see if they are deficient in calcium, as this can also cause excessive sweating. If there is a calcium deficiency, you can take cod liver oil or Betalact, get more sun exposure to promote calcium absorption, and gradually it will improve. Wishing your baby healthy growth.
