Question

Hello, I have a 5-year-old boy. Every night after he falls asleep, he sweats heavily on his back and chest, just like droplets of water. Even with a towel under him, it gets soaked through. What could be the reason for this?

Answer

Hello, based on the description you provided, possible reasons include weakness of the body constitution and malnutrition. It is recommended that you pay attention to giving your child sufficient zinc and calcium to improve their physical health. Additionally, allowing your child to get more sunlight, maintaining good dietary habits, and increasing nutritional intake are also important. If this condition occurs frequently, it is advisable to take your child to the hospital for routine blood tests and trace element checks to receive appropriate treatment and avoid affecting the child’s growth and development.
