Question
My child often sweats while sleeping at night. How should I treat this? The child has a fever and coughs, but no heat sensation. Why does the child always sweat during naptime? Past treatment and results: The child took a fever-reducing syrup called ‘Good Baby’, what kind of help do I need? Please tell me what methods can be used to treat this?
Answer
Based on the description, a basic understanding of the situation is obtained. The child’s condition is a common fever. 1. Fever itself can cause sweating, so sweating at night is normal. Note not to cover the child too warmly, as this can lead to more sweating. 2. Nighttime sweating may be due to calcium deficiency. I suggest supplementing with some calcium and taking some cod liver oil to promote calcium absorption. 3. For a common fever, the child can drink some cooling and detoxifying medicine, such as Qingkailing or children’s Guqiao Qingre Granules, or fever granules.
