Question
Children sweat excessively while sleeping, even in cold winter months. The lymph nodes feel as a string of bumps, especially prominent, clearly visible to the naked eye.
Answer
There are many factors and causes of excessive sweating during sleep in children, both physiological and pathological. Physiological sweating is often due to factors such as hot weather, high room temperature, wearing too many clothes, or using too thick blankets. Pathological sweating may be caused by rickets, tuberculosis, or other chronic infection foci. It is recommended that parents observe their child’s diet and living habits and take them to a regular hospital for examination to get an accurate diagnosis.
