Wondering what factors cause sweating while sleeping?

Patient's question:

Just started sweating when falling asleep, at night, for several years

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: Night sweats can be physiological or pathological, especially in children, where the incidence of physiological night sweats is very high. This sometimes makes parents very anxious, so it is necessary to understand how to distinguish between physiological and pathological night sweats.
Advice: Any factors or diseases that affect the body's temperature regulation center or increase the excitability of the sympathetic nervous system can cause night sweats in children. As parents, you should carefully observe your child, analyze the situation comprehensively, and then make a judgment. Avoid taking medication blindly to prevent adverse consequences.
