Patient's question:
,Every time he sleeps, he sweats a lot. If he doesn't wipe it off, his clothes can get soaked through, just like laundry that hasn't been dried yet. I had him checked for trace elements, and everything was fine. But I don't know why this is happening. His bowel movements are also not normal, at least twice a day, and his appetite has never been good. He gets colds often.Doctor's answer:
Children, when they fall asleep, they sweat profusely, and their clothes can get completely soaked. This is a manifestation of yin deficiency and restlessness with thirst. Children have an immature constitution and are prone to yin deficiency. At night, the yin qi is strong, and the yang qi has no control, leading to yin deficiency with excessive internal heat. This internal heat rises upwards, causing restlessness and thirst. For your situation, do not take medicine randomly on your own. It is recommended that you go to a local legitimate traditional Chinese medicine hospital, see a TCM practitioner, and undergo the four diagnostic methods (inspection, auscultation/olfaction, inquiry, and palpation) for TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment. You can try medications like Liuwei Dihuang Wan (Six-Ingredient Rehmannia Pill) and Xiao'er Qi Xing Cha (Children's Seven-Star Tea) for treatment.
