Question

A 10.5-year-old child is experiencing night sweats, and the parents are concerned about this, having not given any medication. The parents hope to receive professional advice.

Answer

For a 10.5-year-old child experiencing night sweats, it is recommended that parents take their child to the hospital for trace element tests and other related checks to determine if there are any deficiencies in trace elements, and to supplement them in time. At the same time, attention should be paid to the child’s dietary habits, encouraging them to consume more fresh fruits and vegetables and avoid picky eating. If the child has a weak constitution and sweats heavily during sleep at night, even continuously throughout the night, accompanied by symptoms such as irritability, crying, and weight loss, it may be pathological hyperhidrosis. In this case, it is strongly recommended that parents take their child for further medical examination.
