Question
Why do children sweat at night, especially when they first fall asleep, and this condition has been ongoing for several years?
Answer
Night sweats can be classified into physiological and pathological types. For children, physiological night sweats are more common, often causing concern for parents. Parents should carefully observe the child’s condition and analyze it to differentiate between physiological and pathological night sweats. They should avoid taking medication blindly to prevent adverse effects.
