Patient's question:
At just one year old, the baby always sweats profusely during naps at night, with all his hair getting wet. From the baby's mental state and physical condition, everything seems fine, except that there's some redness under his eyes, as if he hasn't rested well. Even during playtime, slight movements make him sweat a lot. Excessive sweating can easily deplete the body's trace elements.What kind of assistance is needed: Hello, how can I help my child stop sweating during naps?
Doctor's answer:
It is a normal phenomenon for children to sweat while sleeping, as their sweat glands are relatively more developed. Sweat gland secretion is inhibited by the autonomic nervous system. After falling asleep, the vagus nerve becomes excited, leading to increased sweating. Generally, sweating is more common on the head and face, but it usually subsides within one to two hours after falling asleep. If sweating persists after sleeping and the amount is significant, it could be a sign of autonomic nervous system dysfunction, which may also be caused by calcium deficiency. Taking calcium supplements twice a year is sufficient. The above suggestions are for the question "How to deal with children sweating during naps." I hope this helps, and wish you good health!
