Patient's question:
In this period, the child in my sister's family has been showing some undesirable behaviors. The child was quite healthy in terms of health a few weeks ago, but recently, the child has been sweating a lot at night and has also developed symptoms of sweating excessively. These symptoms have become increasingly noticeable. I don't know what is actually going on, whether it's some kind of illness or not. What exactly is causing this situation with the child? What could be the reason behind it?Doctor's answer:
Often exhibits excessive sweating, sweating even when the temperature is not high, especially sweating from the head after falling asleep, accompanied by night crying and sudden outbursts, with sweating becoming more pronounced after crying. Some children constantly rub their heads against the pillow, and over time, a bald patch can be seen at the back of the head. When the body lacks calcium, it can lead to a series of neurological and mental symptoms, such as night sweats, which are related to endocrine disorders and the ability to regulate the autonomic nervous system.The above is advice on the question "What should I do about excessive sweating and irritability in children?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
