What to do if your baby sweats while sleeping at night

Many parents are always worried that their babies are not getting enough nutrition and try every means to get their babies to eat more supplements. Some parents will give their babies milk, malted milk, etc. before they go to sleep. After the baby falls asleep, the body produces a lot of heat, which can only be dissipated through sweating through the skin. This is also the reason why the baby sweats while sleeping. But we can't just ignore the fact that babies sweat a lot when they sleep at night. Because babies sweat a lot while sleeping may be due to illness, so what should we do?

According to doctors' experience, sweating in children aged 2 to 6 is mostly a manifestation of "weakness", so it is often said that children sweat easily. Children's qi deficiency will affect their blood, and then affect the five internal organs. Over time, the child's physique will become weak. At this time, if physical disease has been ruled out, the following conditions can be treated through traditional Chinese medicine.

1. Children with rickets. Calcium and vitamin D should be supplemented under the guidance of a doctor; infectious diseases should be treated with anti-infection drugs. After the disease is cured, the symptoms of night sweats will disappear.

2. Children with tuberculosis. Sweating easily during daytime activities is called spontaneous sweating, and sweating at night is called night sweats. If you suspect your baby is infected with tuberculosis, a lung X-ray or a tuberculin test should be done for timely diagnosis and treatment.

3. If children often sweat before dawn and have pale complexion, weak and rapid pulse, they may have hypoglycemia. At this time, you can give your baby some sugar water or some cakes, and the symptoms of excessive sweating will disappear.

4. Children with weak constitutions often sweat in patches on their heads, chests, and backs 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.

5. 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.

In addition, children suffering from anemia, rheumatism, rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases may also experience symptoms of night sweating. Therefore, when the baby suffers from excessive sweating at night, parents should take him to the hospital for treatment in time. Parents should dry their sweating babies promptly. Families that have the conditions should give their babies a sponge bath or a bath, and change their underwear in time.
