Question
Do children who often sweat have a nutritional deficiency? Do they need to go to the hospital for treatment? How long will it take to see improvement after treatment?
Answer
Hello, if a five-year-old child often sweats after sleep and also has a loss of appetite and decreased resistance, this may be a typical symptom of calcium deficiency. Considering that the child is still young and their digestive system may not be fully mature, it is recommended to supplement nutrition through diet. If the child’s calcium deficiency is not severe, it is not advisable to use medication for treatment. Common symptoms of calcium deficiency include difficulty falling asleep, waking up at night, night sweats, abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, decreased appetite, picky eating, irritability during the day, loose or darkened teeth, thinning hair, weakness in the body, and susceptibility to colds.
