Question
My child is seven years old and a boy. He sweats a lot when he moves around, and also when he falls asleep at night, his head sweats and the pillow gets wet. His appetite and energy are good. I just don’t know if this is a disease?
Answer
Modern medicine believes that children have vigorous metabolism and are lively and active, so they often sweat more than adults, which is considered a physiological phenomenon. Night sweats are a type of disease characterized by sweating during sleep and stopping upon waking up. If a child sweats excessively after excessive activity during the day, it may be a sign of night sweats. If there is a situation of excessive sweating, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly to avoid any danger.
