Question
What medication is good for excessive night sweats in children?
Answer
There are mainly two types of abnormal sweating in the body, one is the night sweats due to yin deficiency, with sweat as thick as oil and sticky. The other is the sweating due to Yang deficiency, with sweat as clear as water, mainly because the defensive Yang is not solidified. It is easy to distinguish between the thick and thin sweat. It is recommended to test the child’s stool routine, treat with oral rehydration salts to prevent dehydration, and also try giving cefoperazone sodium granules and ribavirin granules, along with whole-gut digestion therapy, which will improve quickly. Additionally, applying hot compresses to the abdomen also helps in the recovery of the condition. May your child grow healthily.
