Why do children always sweat when they sleep at night?

Children are the apple of their parents' eyes, and parents give them the best love and care. Therefore, in daily life, it is easier for parents to notice some abnormal behaviors of their children. Some parents will find that their babies always sweat when they sleep. What is going on and what are the causes? Here, let us follow the editor to understand the problem of baby sweating.

Sweat consists of water, inorganic salts and trace elements, so excessive sweating will cause our body to lose a lot of water, inorganic salts and trace elements necessary for the human body. Babies sweat a lot and lose much more water, inorganic salts and trace elements than adults. Therefore, if the baby sweats frequently and the adult fails to supplement the baby with corresponding substances in time, it will harm the baby's health. For example, the lack of trace element zinc will affect the baby's growth and development, immune function, etc.

In fact, under normal circumstances, it is normal for babies to sweat. Compared with adults, babies' skin contains more water and has more blood vessels on the surface of the skin. Babies at this stage have a high metabolism and are mostly more active, so they sweat easily.

There is another reason that may cause babies to sweat a lot, that is, the baby suffers from some disease that causes the baby to sweat a lot, such as indigestion, childhood obesity, hypoglycemia, congenital heart disease, rickets, etc. In addition, to determine whether the baby has pathological sweating, parents still need to make a correct diagnosis through relevant examinations and provide timely treatment.

Therefore, it may be normal or pathological for babies to sweat while sleeping. There are many reasons for this. Generally speaking, babies have more water in their bodies and are very active, so they are very likely to sweat a lot. No matter what the situation is, it needs to be carefully distinguished, because frequent sweating will reduce water, inorganic salts, etc.
