Question

How should one care for a child with night sweats?

Answer

Children’s night sweats are usually physiological, associated with high water content in the skin, abundant capillaries, vigorous metabolism, and incomplete regulation of the autonomic nervous system. You can have your child checked for trace elements to see if there is a calcium deficiency, as a calcium deficiency may also cause excessive sweating. If there is a calcium deficiency, you can take oral cod liver oil or Betacal supplements, get more sunlight exposure to promote calcium absorption, and this can improve the night sweats.
