Question
My baby is 9 months old and always loves to sweat, even when feeding or sleeping. It’s been like this without treatment. How can we alleviate the sweating problem?
Answer
Children who frequently sweat, especially after sleeping at night, may suffer from yin deficiency leading to thirst. During the day, sweating may indicate qi deficiency. Ultimately, these symptoms are often due to the child’s poor constitution. Therefore, tonifying bone granules and Yu Ping Feng San can be taken for targeted treatment. It’s also important to take digestive vitamin AD, also known as cod liver oil, and expose the child to sunlight when possible. If calcium deficiency is a concern, calcium supplements can be taken concurrently.
