Answer

Hello, based on the information you provided, your child may be experiencing night sweats and sticky sweat, along with crying and fussiness. In this situation, it is recommended that you take the following measures:

  1. Ensure timely fluid intake to make sure the child is getting enough water to prevent dehydration.
  2. Keep the child’s surroundings cool to avoid overheating and more sweating.
  3. If your child’s symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to take them to see a doctor to rule out other potential health issues. Additionally, if the child has a fever, it may be due to an infection and immediate medical attention is required. Normally, a child’s body temperature should be between 36.5℃ and 37.5℃. If the child’s temperature exceeds 37.5℃, it may indicate a fever and should be addressed promptly.
