Question
Why does a child sweat a lot while sleeping after getting an injection at Anqiu Hospital!
Answer
It is normal for children to sweat while sleeping, as they have more developed sweat glands. Sweating is usually controlled by the autonomic nervous system, and excitement of the vagus nerve during sleep may lead to increased sweating. This type of sweating usually subsides within one to two hours after falling asleep and is mainly concentrated on the head and face. However, if excessive sweating or prolonged sweating occurs, it may be a sign of autonomic nervous system dysfunction or a lack of calcium, or it could be due to excessive physical activity.
