Some children often sweat during sleep, sweat soaked clothes, pillow towels, this phenomenon is called night sweat in traditional Chinese medicine. Many parents are worried about this. Although they seek medical treatment everywhere, they still have little effect.
In fact, children's night sweats are not necessarily pathological, most of them are physiological night sweats. Because children's skin is rich in water, capillaries, metabolism, autonomic nerve regulation function is not perfect, and they are easy to sweat when they are active. If children have too much activity before falling asleep, it can increase the body's heat production, or shortly after eating, the gastrointestinal peristalsis will increase, the secretion of gastric juice will increase, and the secretion of sweat glands will also increase. These can cause children to sweat more after sleeping, especially within 2 hours after sweating.

For example, children's activities, especially strenuous activities, should be properly limited before going to bed; it is not suitable to eat too full before going to bed, and not suitable to give a large number of hot food and hot drinks before going to bed; it is not appropriate to sleep in the bedroom with too high temperature, and not to wear thick clothes; the quilt should be increased or decreased with the change of temperature.
For children with pathological night sweat, treatment should be carried out according to the etiology. Such as night sweat caused by calcium deficiency, calcium and vitamin D should be supplemented properly. The night sweat caused by tuberculosis should be treated with anti tuberculosis. After children's night sweat, they should dry their skin with towel, change clothes and bathe frequently. To let children often participate in outdoor exercise, in order to enhance their physical fitness, improve their adaptability, physical fitness, night sweat will also end.
