Question

The baby drinks milk about 7 to 8 times at night and often sweats. What could be the cause?

Answer

The baby drinking milk frequently at night, around 7 to 8 times, and often sweating, may be due to rapid growth and development, as the body requires a large amount of nutrition, causing the baby to frequently feel hungry. Sweating could be caused by two reasons: either wearing too many clothes leading to overheating, or possibly having tuberculosis. Typically, overheating is a more common cause, as tuberculosis, besides coughing and fever, may also be accompanied by other symptoms. First, parents should carefully observe the baby’s various behaviors, such as whether they eat a lot during the day, whether they often cry or fuss, and how their expressions are, before conducting a more detailed examination.
