Question
I sweat on my chest and back just before I fall asleep, but it stops after a while and I’m fine for the rest of the night. What could be the reason? Thank you! Laboratory and examination results: No tests have been done. Previous treatment and effectiveness: I have taken calcium before, but it still happens after a while. What kind of help do I need: How should I treat it?
Answer
Children’s bodies are in a period of vigorous growth and development with a high basal metabolic rate, so they may experience excessive sweating again, which is more common in the head area and is generally a physiological form of sweating. I’m not sure how the child has been supplementing calcium before, but since the child is in a period of rapid growth, there is a high demand for calcium, and calcium deficiency can also lead to the recurrence of excessive sweating. Generally, you can give the child oral liquid calcium supplements such as calcium gluconate oral solution (which is beneficial for digestion) and medications containing vitamin D (such as cod liver oil) simultaneously.
