Question
Lately, my supervisor has commented that I’m not in good spirits, which is affecting my work performance. In fact, I don’t want it to be this way. I have trouble sleeping every night and occasionally feel palpitations and discomfort. I’m worried that this will affect my health and work. How should I deal with excessive sweating while sleeping after taking ibuprofen for a fever?
Answer
If a baby sweats after taking ibuprofen during a cold, it’s important to first check if the baby is dressed too warmly or if the blanket is too thick. Sometimes, when a baby has a cold, parents might dress them in too many clothes and cover them with too thick a blanket to prevent them from catching a chill, which can actually be harmful. Additionally, internal heat in the baby’s body during a cold can also lead to sweating. Feeling cool on the forehead after sweating is a normal phenomenon, and this situation usually improves as the baby’s symptoms improve. However, if the sweating persists, it’s advisable to check the baby’s trace elements to see if a deficiency in calcium might be the cause.
