What causes children to sweat while sleeping?

Children often sweat when sleeping at night, but when parents touch their children's bodies, they do not feel hot sweat but a cold feeling. This is cold sweat, which is caused by several factors, including physiological cold sweat and pathological cold sweat. You don't need to worry too much about physiological cold sweat, but if it is caused by pathological factors, you need to find the cause and treat it.

For most babies, sweating is a normal physiological phenomenon, medically known as "physiological hyperhidrosis", and there are usually obvious external causes or triggers. like:

The weather is hot or the indoor air-conditioning temperature is too high, causing the baby to sweat excessively;

·Babies sweat a lot after playing, running, jumping, or doing strenuous exercise;

The baby is overdressed;

The quilt is too thick at night, causing the baby to overheat and sweat a lot;

Eating spicy foods, such as chili peppers, can also cause excessive sweating.

Pathological hyperhidrosis refers to hyperhidrosis caused by certain diseases, and the cause is relatively complicated.

Childhood obesity: Obese babies will sweat profusely even when they move or walk.

Hypoglycemia: Symptoms include sadness and restlessness, pale complexion, cold sweats, even profuse sweating, and cold limbs. Drug-induced hyperhidrosis: Taking too much antipyretic medicine can cause excessive sweating or even collapse.

·Children's cardiopulmonary diseases: Children with congenital heart disease, pneumonia and heart failure often sweat profusely.
