Patient's question:
I don't know if he has this condition, and his mental state isn't good either. Could you please explain what causes cold sweat during baby sleep?Doctor's answer:
It is normal for children to sweat while sleeping, as their sweat glands are more developed. Sweat production is controlled by the autonomic nervous system (vagus nerve). After falling asleep, the excitement of the vagus nerve leads to increased sweating, usually concentrated on the head and face, but it typically subsides within one to two hours. If sweating persists after sleeping and is quite heavy, it could be a sign of a functional disorder of the autonomic nervous system, with some cases possibly being caused by calcium deficiency.
