Is it a disease for babies to sweat when sleeping?

It is something that everyone knows that babies nowadays like to sleep. However, it is a bit abnormal for babies to sweat while sleeping. Is it a disease for babies to sweat while sleeping? I believe many parents would like to know this. Although sweating of babies will not cause great harm to their bodies, first-time parents will still be a little nervous. In fact, you will understand after reading this article about babies sweating while sleeping.

Clinical observations show that children with night sweats often suffer from internal heat. One reason is heat accumulation in the spleen and stomach, and the other is internal heat due to yin deficiency. The heat forces body fluids out, so the night sweats continue. If the heat is not cleared, the sweating cannot be stopped. To eliminate night sweats, you must clear the heat.

Children with heat accumulation in the spleen and stomach may have a brisk or reduced appetite, good spirits, constipation, and frequent bowel movements. Although they are thin, they do not feel tired and they play all day long. The principle of treatment is to clear away heat and promote bowel movements to expel the heat.

The most common type is Yin deficiency and internal heat. Due to long-term night sweats, the body fluid is consumed excessively, resulting in a Yin deficiency phenomenon. The children have red and dry lips and tongue, hot hands and feet, dry mouth, and bowel movements every few days with dry and granular feces. The treatment should be to clear away heat and nourish yin so that the heat can be eliminated internally and the sweat can be eliminated quickly.

Children with night sweats are often prone to catching colds, and very few of them are truly physically weak. Most of them kick off the quilt in their dreams due to sweating, and catch a cold. This should be distinguished from a cold caused by physical weakness. Some children with night sweats do not suffer from internal heat accumulation. They sweat a lot, are prone to catching colds and coughs, and are afraid of the cold. They sweat easily even with a little exercise. For such children, it is not advisable to blindly use tonics during treatment. Instead, the spleen and stomach can be harmonized.

Children with weak constitutions often sweat in patches on their head, chest, and back when they are active during the day or after falling asleep at night. It is often caused by malnutrition due to improper feeding or poor digestion and absorption. In terms of nursing, attention should be paid to adjusting feeding methods, promoting children's appetite, and increasing the intake of protein, fat and sugar. If necessary, traditional Chinese medicine can be used to regulate spleen and stomach disharmony.

Therefore, children's sweating during sleep should be carefully distinguished. If necessary, take the child to the hospital to check trace elements and treat any abnormalities in time. I wish your baby healthy and happy!

The above is our series of analysis and explanation on babies’ sweating. I believe parents are now well aware of this situation. In addition, although long-term sweating does not cause much harm to babies, if the sweat remains on the skin, it will still cause certain damage to the baby's skin. Therefore, when the baby sweats while sleeping, parents must wipe off the sweat in time.
