What should I do if my baby always sweats while sleeping?

Many mothers will find that their babies always sweat when they sleep. If it is a hot summer, the sweating may be caused by the high temperature. However, even if the weather is not very hot, if there is excessive sweating, you need to be vigilant. At the same time, you must take corresponding conditioning and maintenance measures according to the specific situation. So what should I do if my baby always sweats when sleeping?

Night sweats in children refer to when the child sweats one hour or at most two hours after falling asleep and the sweat is wiped off, but the child continues to sweat afterwards. Because children's nervous systems are not fully developed, the sympathetic and parasympathetic regulation between light sleep and deep sleep is not very good, so it is normal to sweat before entering deep sleep.

On the one hand, it is related to the child's activities. After the child's activities, the nerve metabolism including blood vessel metabolism is enhanced. Some children from one to three years old, and some before school age, sweat a lot when sleeping. It is normal for them to stop sweating after wiping themselves dry. If a child sweats even though he is not active during the day, it is related to the child's nutrition, vitamin, calcium deficiency and basal metabolism.

There are many reasons why children sweat excessively when sleeping, both physiological and pathological. For children with pathological night sweats, treatment should be targeted at the cause. If night sweats are caused by calcium deficiency, appropriate supplements of calcium, vitamin D, etc. should be taken. Night sweats caused by tuberculosis should be treated with anti-tuberculosis treatment. When children have night sweats, they should dry their skin with a towel, change clothes, and bathe frequently. Children should be allowed to participate in outdoor exercise regularly to strengthen their physical fitness and improve their adaptability. Once their physical fitness improves, night sweats will stop.

Comprehensive analysis, from clinical symptoms to children's performance to parental care to dietary structure, can correctly distinguish the difference between hyperhidrosis and night sweats, and appropriate supplementation of vitamins and calcium can be carried out. If children often sweat before dawn and have pale complexion and a weak and rapid pulse, they may have hypoglycemia. This can be corrected by giving them some sugar water or eating some cakes.

As for what to do if your baby always sweats while sleeping, the above introduction is very clear. The child is still young and is in a critical period of development and growth. Any health risks cannot be ignored. Of course, there is no need to worry too much about some physiological reasons. As long as you can take good care of the child's daily life, it will be fine.
