A three-year-old boy sweats a lot when sleeping?

Sweating while sleeping is a phenomenon experienced by many adults. In fact, if babies sweat while sleeping during their growth process, it is mostly a normal phenomenon. It is actually physiological sweating. However, it is not necessarily a normal phenomenon for babies to sweat while sleeping. Parents should learn to distinguish them in life. Sometimes babies sweating while sleeping is a sign of physical weakness, and it may also be caused by calcium deficiency. It is best for parents to take their children to the hospital for examination.

Factors that affect baby's sweating during sleep

1. Related to the season

Children's sweating also varies according to the season. Generally, sweating occurs most in March, April, and November. The common point is that they usually sweat before 12 o'clock and stop in the second half of the night.

2. Related to diet

Children's sweating while sleeping is closely related to their diet. As we all know, foods such as fish and shrimp are high in calorie and have high nutritional value. Parents always want to give the best to their children, but once children are given too much of these foods, it will lead to overnutrition and severe internal heat in them. At this time, children will have the following reactions: children sweat a lot, and usually they will sweat all over when they are active. The sweating will be more serious at night, and they may even wet their clothes and sheets. Severe internal heat, in short, means they have a lot of energy and are full of energy. They can play all day long without feeling tired. Some children will also feel red lips, hot palms and soles of feet, dry mouth, thirsty easily, and dry stools, which are usually granular.

3. Related to physiological sweating

The so-called physiological sweating generally refers to the phenomenon of sweating during sleep due to the child's good health, not due to illness. When children go to sleep, parents are always used to covering them with more quilts for fear that they will catch a cold, and then they wrap them up tightly. However, children's metabolic capacity is relatively strong, but their brain and nervous system are not yet fully developed, so they can only sweat to evaporate excess heat in the body and return the body temperature to normal.

In addition, some parents like to give their children milk or cereal before going to bed. After the children fall asleep, the body generates a lot of heat, which is dissipated through the skin. This is also a kind of physiological sweating.

However, there is also a kind of "physiological sweating" in medicine, which is because the weather is hot in summer and the indoor ventilation is poor, so children sweat easily. In fact, parents do not need to worry too much about physiological sweating. It is a normal phenomenon in the growth process of children. As the child grows older, this phenomenon will gradually improve and eventually disappear.

What to do if your child sweats while sleeping at night

1. Wearing pure cotton underwear not only absorbs sweat, but also allows children's skin to breathe freely.

2. Maintain the indoor temperature and humidity, ventilate regularly, and open the window for more than 10 minutes each time.

3. Bathe your child frequently to keep his or her skin dry and clean, especially around the neck and armpits.

4. Apply talcum powder to your child to keep his or her skin comfortable and dry.
