Question
My child sweats a lot at night while sleeping, and their clothes are always damp, even in winter. What should I do?
Answer
Excessive sweating in children at night may be due to heat accumulation in the spleen and stomach or Yin deficiency with internal heat. For heat accumulation in the spleen and stomach, cooling and bowel movements should be promoted; for Yin deficiency with internal heat, cooling and Yin nourishment are recommended. Treatment should be tailored to the specific symptoms.
