What to Do If a Baby Sweats at Night?

Question

What should I do if my baby sweats at night?

Answer

Based on your description, a baby sweating at night may be due to deficiency-induced spontaneous sweating, leading to an unstable superficial defense and excessive sweat exudation. It is suggested to use a large dose of Astragalus decoction to achieve the effect of invigorating Qi, consolidating the exterior, and stopping sweating. Additionally, you may consider adding floating wheat to enhance the effect of stopping sweating. If surgery is required for your child’s condition, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and follow medical instructions for postoperative medication.
