Patient's question:
Doctor, my child sweats a lot at night while sleeping, moving from place to place, and everything is wet. The same thing happens when they drink milk—the sweat comes out drop by drop, and it's cold sweat. What could be the reason? Yesterday, their hands and feet were very cold and wet. Is this related to diarrhea?Doctor's answer:
If a child sweats excessively, it could be due to obesity, or it might be caused by a lack of trace elements or weakness in the body, leading to edema. Based on your description, it seems the child is calcium deficient. It is recommended to supplement with calcium and also take vitamin D to promote calcium absorption. Pay attention to regulating the child's digestive function and get more sun exposure! If you have any further questions, please let me know.
