Is It Normal for Children to Sweat a Lot?

Question

Children may not experience discomfort in their daily lives, but they tend to sweat a lot during sleep, and their diet is in good condition. Is this frequent sweating a normal phenomenon?

Answer

During infancy, due to the vigorous metabolism and the active nature of young children, they may continue to be active even after going to bed at night, resulting in sweating on the head upon falling asleep. This physiological hyperhidrosis indicates that the child is developing well and is healthy with no diseases causing sweating during sleep. Some parents give milk or malted MilkPowder before bedtime, which leads to a large amount of heat production in the child’s body upon falling asleep, mainly through sweating on the skin to dissipate heat. Additionally, high room temperature or excessive warmth can also cause children to sweat during sleep, all of which are physiological reasons for sweating.
