Patient's question:
What are the reasons for excessive sweating from the head of a child while sleeping at night?Doctor's answer:
Sweating while sleeping can basically be divided into two types: one is due to physiological factors, and the other is caused by pathological conditions.Physiological factors refer to situations where, before going to bed, one drinks too much water or stays under the covers due to stuffiness and heat. This is a normal condition and falls under a physiological phenomenon for regulating body temperature, so it does not fall under the category of night sweats. Therefore, it is absolutely essential not to use medication indiscriminately and to seek guidance from a professional doctor.
