Question
My 14-month-old boy always sweats while sleeping, and his pillow is always wet. He has been prone to sweating since childhood, and his arms sometimes make a noise, similar to adults, with a sound when he occasionally lifts his arm. Is he lacking something?
Answer
This condition could be caused by a calcium deficiency. From a traditional Chinese medicine perspective, it might be due to yin deficiency leading to symptoms of thirst. It is recommended to take some calcium supplements, such as Longmu Strong Bone Granules, which may have a good effect. At the same time, you can combine it with massaging some acupoints, such as Dazhui, Hegu, Sanyinjiao, Taixi, Guanyuan, etc., for 20 minutes each day until the regional skin becomes slightly red. By persisting for a period of time, the effect should be quite noticeable.
