Answer

Sweating after afternoon naps, often referred to as night sweat, is usually due to weak constitution and is common in children, often seen in cases of calcium deficiency or during the recovery period after a recent fever. It is recommended to first carefully observe the child and supplement calcium, which can be done by taking Dragon Bone Fortifying Powder or Calcium Gluconate Oral Solution. If the situation does not improve or worsens, further medical examination is needed.
