Patient's question:
At night, just before or after going to sleep, I sweat in my chest, but it stops after a while. Then, I'm fine for the rest of the night. What could be the reason? Thank you!Test results: No tests have been done.
Past treatment history and effectiveness: I have taken calcium, but it's the same after a while.
What kind of help do I need: How should I be treated?
Doctor's answer:
The child's body is in a period of vigorous growth and development, with a high basal metabolic rate, so there may be a recurrence of excessive sweating. This phenomenon is more common on the head and is generally physiological sweating.I am not sure how the child was previously supplemented with calcium, but during the period of vigorous growth and development, the demand for calcium is very high. Calcium deficiency can also lead to a recurrence of significant sweating in children. Generally, liquid calcium supplements such as calcium gluconate oral solution (which is beneficial for absorption) and drugs containing vitamin D (such as cod liver oil, etc.) can be taken simultaneously to aid digestion.
