Question
My daughter is 2 years old and tends to sweat a lot, even during winter sleep when her head often feels damp. I want to buy her a pillow but am unsure which type is suitable. Is a silk sand core pillow appropriate? What are the benefits of the traditional Chinese medicine ingredients in the pillow core? Thank you!
Answer
The choice of pillow has no relation to a child’s sweating. Excessive sweating in children can be categorized into physiological and pathological types. Physiological sweating usually has obvious causes, such as wearing too many clothes, severe exercise, or consuming spicy foods, and the sweating stops once the cause is eliminated. Children with this type of sweating generally have good health and no other diseases. Pathological sweating has complex causes and is a manifestation of multiple diseases. It is recommended to consult a doctor for a diagnosis and treatment based on the cause.
