Patient's question:
A one-year-old child sweats excessively. The child has been experiencing this for some time, and the parents are hesitant to give medication. Please provide some advice from a doctor.Doctor's answer:
I think this is a symptom of weakness after illness. Treatment should involve using tonifying Qi herbs. It may be due to a deficiency of trace elements, and multivitamin tablets can be used as a supplement. If there is Qi deficiency with excessive sweating, Yu Ping Feng Granules can be used to alleviate the symptoms. For sweating during sleep in children, it should be carefully differentiated, and if necessary, the child should be taken to the hospital for examination and timely treatment if abnormalities are found. It is recommended to encourage the child to engage in more outdoor activities and sports regularly.
