Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop lately. Even the hospital check-ups haven't helped. Could you please tell me what could be causing excessive sweating in a four-year-old during sleep?Doctor's answer:
Hello: One reason for sweating during sleep in children is physiological hyperhidrosis, which does not require treatment and will resolve on its own as they grow older. The other possibility is a calcium deficiency, so it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a trace element test to confirm the diagnosis. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, a treatment plan can be formulated. Children can take pediatric fish oil drops and calcium gluconate oral solution, or take Diqiao Calcium. If necessary, vitamin D3 injection can be administered for treatment, and it is also beneficial to get more sun exposure regularly.
