Treatment for night sweats in children

We know that sweating is a normal part of human metabolism, and it also takes away excess heat from the body. Generally speaking, people sweat more obviously when the weather is hot or when exercising. The same is true for children, especially when sleeping at night. If excessive sweating is not caused by the quilt being too thick and too hot, then you should consider whether it is a problem of night sweats. The following are some treatment methods for reference.

one. External treatment

(3) Grind 10 grams of Phellodendron chinense into fine powder, sieve it, mix it with boiling water to make a paste, apply it to the center point (nipple) of both breasts, cover it with gauze, and fix it with adhesive tape. Suitable for night sweats due to yin deficiency and hyperactivity of fire.
