Question
My child is now two years old and likes to sweat at night while sleeping. What could be the reason? This has been the case since birth, and no treatment has been given. I would like to ask why, is it a disease, or is the child’s physical constitution not good?
Answer
According to your description, the child’s night sweats may be due to neurasthenia. In traditional Chinese medicine treatment, herbs such as cicada slough, Chuanxiong, Sangye, Ge Gen, silver ear polysaccharide, ginseng, Astragalus, Yunzhi polysaccharide, Cheqianzi, and Xiangfu can be decocted for treatment, which has been shown to be effective. It is recommended to consider traditional Chinese medicine treatment and pay attention to diet in daily life, try to avoid spicy food, maintain emotional stability and mental well-being, prevent tension and excitement, and ensure smooth bowel movements.
