Patient's question:
The baby is almost four months old and has difficulty sleeping at night, crying very loudly. It sweats a lot when sleeping. What should I do?Past treatment and effectiveness: A month ago, it was like this. After taking vitamins and calcium, it improved a lot. But in recent days, it's back to the old state. I'm very frustrated and want to get help: Please help find a solution.
Doctor's answer:
When babies sweat during deep sleep or even with slight movement, it is a very common phenomenon. Among children who return for follow-up visits at the hospital, about 70% suffer from nocturnal hyperhidrosis and excessive sweating. However, only a small fraction of these cases are caused by diseases such as rickets, tuberculosis, or mild anemia. The majority of babies do not have any specific underlying conditions. In addition to wearing too many clothes or covering themselves too warmly, excessive sweating is also directly related to diet. Nowadays, parents are always worried about their babies' malnutrition. Many babies almost eat high-calorie fish and shrimp every day, which can lead to the symptoms mentioned above.
