Baby sweats when sleeping in vest at night

Children are very important to every family, especially in the process of baby's growth, all aspects need to be paid attention to. Generally speaking, after the baby is born, it is good for the baby's growth to eat well and sleep well, and try to give the baby a comfortable and warm environment. Some parents find that the baby sweats on the back when sleeping, and they are very worried. What's going on?

Why does the baby sweat when sleeping in the vest at night?

There are two main reasons for baby's excessive sweating: physiological excessive sweating and pathological excessive sweating. Normal reasons: Excessive sweating in babies is mostly normal, which is medically called physiological hyperhidrosis. For example, the hot summer weather causes children to sweat excessively. When infants and young children just fall asleep, they sweat on the head and neck, but the sweat decreases after they fall asleep. At night, the quilt is too thick, and the indoor air-conditioning temperature is too high, which makes the baby overheat and sweat a lot.

Active rickets in infants and young children, active tuberculosis in children, hypoglycemia in children, excessive dose of antipyretics and mental factors such as excessive excitement and fear are pathological hyperhidrosis.

What should I do if my baby sweats on his back when sleeping at night?

The baby's back may be sweaty and swollen after sleeping at night due to physiological reasons or pathological night sweats, so timely care should be provided. After a child has night sweats, you should promptly dry the skin with a dry towel and change clothes in time, and move briskly to prevent the child from catching a cold. Pay attention to replenish water and salt in time. Bedding should also be dried frequently. The function of sunlight is not only to heat and dry, but also to disinfect and sterilize. In addition, children who are prone to night sweats should undergo planned physical exercise, such as sunbathing, cold water baths, etc., to strengthen their physical fitness and improve their adaptability.

Generally speaking, there are two reasons why babies experience this condition, pathological and physiological. Regardless of the nature, you must pay attention to better conditioning and let your baby develop good living habits in life. This will better improve the baby's back sweating and make the baby healthier.

The common factors that cause pathological sweating in babies are as follows:

1. Rickets

In addition to excessive sweating, the baby may also be irritable, cry easily, lose temper, have restless sleep, be easily awakened, and even have symptoms of occipital baldness (no hair growing on the occipital region). The baby's head is square, the forehead is protruding, the fontanelle is large but closes late, and the teeth are late. If parents find that the baby has the above symptoms while sweating, they should take the baby to the hospital in time to prevent delays in the disease.

2. Tuberculosis in children

The symptoms of this disease are that the baby not only sweats a lot when falling asleep, but also sweats in the second half of the night before dawn. At the same time, the baby will also become thin, lose weight, have a poor appetite, have long and curly eyelashes, and have a low fever. If parents find that their baby has this disease, they should take the baby to the hospital for examination.

3. Hypoglycemia

Although hypoglycemia often occurs in the hot summer, it is not ruled out in winter. Babies with hypoglycemia usually refuse to eat at night, wake up listless in the morning, and are pale and sweat coldly, or even sweat profusely and have cold limbs when sleeping at night.

4. Drug abuse leads to sweating

Babies who are weak and catch colds frequently are more likely to sweat. When a baby has a cold, if cold antibiotics are abused, it will further damage the baby's constitution and cause the baby to sweat profusely while sleeping. The use of antibiotics for sweating caused by this situation should be stopped promptly, and regular conditioning should be used to improve the condition.
