Baby's neck sweats when sleeping at night

Some parents have reported that their babies always sweat when they sleep at night, especially on their neck and back. The first thing to consider is whether it is because they are covered with too many quilts. The baby has body heat and does not need to be covered with too many quilts. Just maintain a moderate temperature. If this is not the reason, we should consider the baby's own physical condition. The following article introduces the relevant symptoms of patients with night sweats. If you are troubled by this, please take a look.

Some patients with night sweats start sweating as soon as they fall asleep, some start sweating after falling asleep at midnight, and some start sweating just after closing their eyes for a while. The amount of sweat produced varies greatly. According to the clinical manifestations of patients with night sweats, they can be divided into three types: mild, moderate and severe.

Most patients with mild night sweats sweat easily when they are deep in sleep, at around 5 a.m., or 1 to 2 hours before waking up. The amount of sweat is small, and they only feel a little sweat all over the body or certain parts of the body after waking up, and no sweat will be secreted again after waking up. It is usually not accompanied by any discomfort.

Most patients with moderate night sweats will sweat soon after falling asleep, and their sleeping clothes may even be soaked through. The sweat will stop after they wake up, and they will not sweat again after wiping the sweat off their bodies. This type of night sweats causes the patient to feel hot and sweat, and sometimes to feel dry mouth and throat after waking up.

Patients with severe night sweats sweat easily. Shortly after falling asleep or just closing your eyes and about to fall asleep, you will sweat a lot. You will wake up after sweating, and the sweat will stop instantly after waking up. Falling back to sleep may cause sweating again. The amount of sweating is large, and the sweat often has a light salty taste, or is mixed with sweat odor. Severe sweating can make the bedding soaked, and one cannot sleep well without changing sleeping clothes several times a night. Some seriously ill patients can make the bedding soaked. When the bedding is thin or a mat is used, sweat can leave sweat marks on the bed board. These patients often have a noticeable feeling of hotness, irritability, dry mouth and tongue after sweating, and like cold water. It may be accompanied by low fever or hot flashes, fever in the five hearts, red cheeks, dizziness, weight loss, fatigue, dark urine, small urine volume, and dry stool.

Mild and moderate night sweats will not cause much damage to the body, but for patients with severe night sweats, the condition will often worsen over time and develop into "dehydration", which seriously threatens the patient's health and life safety.

Night sweats are a common clinical symptom, especially among people who have suffered from various chronic diseases for a long time and have weak constitutions. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that night sweats are mostly caused by deficiency of both Qi and Yin, which makes it impossible to restrain and retain sweat. If night sweats do not heal over time, they will further deplete Qi and Yin and endanger your health.
