Question

Parents have reported that their children sweat excessively during sleep at night, requiring frequent changes in sleeping positions, and the sweat is moist. Similar situations occur during breastfeeding, with noticeable sweat beads and a sensation of cold sweat. Moreover, the child’s hands and feet appeared cool and moist yesterday. The parents want to know if this is related to diarrhea.

Answer

If a child experiences excessive sweating, possible causes may include obesity, deficiencies in trace elements, or physical weakness. According to the description, this may be due to calcium deficiency. It is recommended to undergo calcium supplementation therapy and to supplement Vitamin D to promote calcium absorption. At the same time, attention should be paid to regulating the child’s digestive function and encouraging more sun exposure. For any further questions, please consult a doctor promptly.
