Question
The child is 9 months and 3 weeks old, from birth to now, why does he wake up every one and a half hours at night?
Answer
Hello: Excessive sweating in children can be divided into two types: physiological hyperhidrosis and pathological hyperhidrosis. Physiological hyperhidrosis often has obvious causes, such as excessive clothing, intense exercise, or spicy and stimulating food. After eliminating the causes of hyperhidrosis, the symptoms disappear. In addition, these children are generally in good health without other diseases. Pathological hyperhidrosis in children has complex causes and is a symptom of multiple diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately diagnose the related diseases of children’s hyperhidrosis to find the root cause and treat children’s hyperhidrosis effectively. So, how can parents observe and identify the nature of their child’s sweating? Hyperhidrosis caused by activities such as rickets is usually nocturnal after sleep, with sweat gradually decreasing after deep sleep.
