Question
Why does my child drink a lot of water and urinate often, and sweat at night while sleeping?
Answer
The baby drinks a lot of water during the day and sweats excessively during night naps; if the sweating is only excessive one hour before bedtime, it may be normal and related to the child having lung heat. If the child sweats excessively all night, it may be due to yin deficiency and internal heat causing thirst. Guidance: It is recommended to carefully observe the child’s sweating situation and pay attention to the indoor temperature. If there is excessive sweating all night, it may be due to yin deficiency and thirst. In this case, you can bring the baby to see a pediatrician who specializes in traditional Chinese medicine for herbal treatment.
