Why does an 8-year-old boy sweat when sleeping at night?

If a child sweats while sleeping at night, parents should help the child find the reason. There are many reasons behind it. For example, in summer, because the weather is very hot, if there is no air conditioning at home, the child will sweat easily when sleeping. This is a normal physiological phenomenon. In addition, the child’s sweating at night may be due to pathological factors, which should be taken seriously. At this time, it is best to take the child to the hospital for examination, and symptomatic treatment should be given after the cause is found in time.

Why does an 8-year-old boy sweat when sleeping at night?

An eight-year-old boy who sweats a lot while sleeping at night is not necessarily pathological. In most cases, it is physiological night sweats. Because children's skin contains more moisture, has abundant capillaries, has an active metabolism, and their autonomic nervous system regulation function is not yet fully developed, they are prone to sweating when they are active. If children are too active before going to bed, it can increase the body's heat production, or shortly after eating, gastrointestinal motility increases, gastric juice secretion increases, and sweat gland secretion also increases accordingly. These can cause children to sweat more after sleeping, especially within 2 hours after sweating. In addition, night sweats are more common in rickets, mainly in children under 3 years old, and are mainly manifested in sweating in the first half of the night, which is caused by low blood calcium. Night sweats in children with tuberculosis are characterized by sweating all night long. The children also have symptoms such as low fever, weight loss, no weight gain or weight loss, loss of appetite, and mood changes. Go to the hospital for a check-up.

My child is eight years old and always sweats when he sleeps at night. Generally, it is because the child is calcium deficient and he needs to take cod liver oil. It is better to do more outdoor activities and sunbathe in good weather.

Suggestions: Children should not wear too thick clothes or cover themselves with thick clothes. They should take frequent baths if they have hot temper. They can use Icoxin cod liver oil and 2D calcium.

Considering that it is related to the lack of trace element calcium, you can take Longmu Zhuanggu Granules to supplement calcium. Longmu Zhuanggu Granules is a compound preparation of Chinese and Western medicine. Chinese medicine regulates the spleen and stomach and promotes appetite and digestion.

Suggestions: Western medicine supplements calcium and vitamin D, which can supplement calcium and promote digestion, can treat and prevent rickets and osteomalacia, and also have a therapeutic effect on hyperhidrosis, night terrors, loss of appetite, indigestion, developmental delay, etc.

Children's sweat glands are more developed, and the secretion of sweat glands is controlled by the autonomic nervous system. After falling asleep, the vagus nerve is excited, causing excessive sweating. This may be partly caused by calcium deficiency. After a trace element test and a confirmed diagnosis, children can take cod liver oil drops and calcium gluconate oral solution, or they can take Diqiao calcium for treatment.
