Patient's question:
My daughter just turned 2 years old this year. She sweats a lot, especially in winter when she sleeps, her head is still wet (she's not covered much). I want to buy her a pillow, but I don't know which one is good. Is silk sand filling good? Also, is there Chinese herbal medicine in the pillow filling? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
It has nothing to do with pillows! Excessive sweating in children can be divided into two major categories: physiological sweating and pathological sweating. Physiological sweating often has obvious causes, such as wearing too many clothes, intense exercise, or consuming spicy and stimulating foods. Once the cause of the sweating is eliminated, the sweating phenomenon disappears. Moreover, these children are generally in good health and show no other diseases. Pathological sweating in children is more complex, as it is a symptom resulting from the combined effect of multiple diseases. Therefore, it is essential to accurately diagnose the relevant diseases causing the sweating in children, identify the root cause, and then effectively treat the condition. It is recommended that you go to a professional hospital for examination.
