Question
What causes excessive head sweating in children during sleep at night?
Answer
Nighttime sweating can be categorized into two types: physiological and pathological. Physiological factors may include drinking too much water before bed or sweating due to stuffiness within the sleeping environment, which is a normal physiological phenomenon and not considered night sweats. Therefore, medication should not be used arbitrarily, and treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a professional doctor.
