Patient's question:
My baby is just four months old. I noticed that he sweats from the back of his head while sleeping and don't know the reason. I haven't visited a doctor yet. There is no previous treatment history or effectiveness. I want to know if he might be calcium deficient.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it is possible that rickets may not be ruled out. Rickets can manifest as night sweats, excessive thirst, recurrence of baldness on the back of the head, soft skull, square skull, etc. It is recommended to take your child to the hospital to check for the five tests of rickets. If there is a problem, start taking vitamin D and calcium supplements immediately. Also, pay attention to giving your baby vitamin D supplements on a daily basis. The above is the advice for the question "Why does my baby sweat from the back of the head while taking a nap?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
