Patient's question:
A 10-and-a-half-year-old child has been experiencing night sweats. This condition has been going on for some time, and the child's parents are hesitant to give medication. Please provide some advice from a medical perspective.Doctor's answer:
According to the symptoms you described, it is recommended to visit the hospital promptly for tests of trace elements and other checks to determine if there is a deficiency in trace elements or other issues, and to supplement them in a timely manner. At the same time, pay attention to your child's dietary habits, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and avoid being picky about food. If your child is generally frail, sweats profusely at night while sleeping, as if being drenched with water, or even sweats continuously throughout the night, soaking their pillowcases, accompanied by symptoms such as restlessness, crying, and weight loss, then it falls under pathological hyperhidrosis. It is recommended that you take your child for a checkup.
