What reason is child night sweat

First: sweating is a normal physiological phenomenon of the human body. Because children grow and develop rapidly, their metabolism is more vigorous than adults, and they produce more heat and metabolites. At the same time, children's autonomic nerve development is not perfect, in sleep, the sympathetic nerve in charge of sweat glands will lose the control of the brain and temporarily excited, appear sweating phenomenon, this is completely normal.

Second: sweating is a very normal phenomenon when children sleep, because the sweat glands of children are more developed, and the secretion of sweat glands is controlled by the autonomic nerve. After sleeping, the vagus nerve is excited, leading to more sweating, generally with the head and face sweating, but it will be relieved within one or two hours after sleeping. If sweating after sleeping, and the amount is relatively large, it may be a functional disorder of autonomic nerve, and some can be cured It can be caused by calcium deficiency.

Third: pathological sweating is in children's quiet state, such as rickets sweating, performance for the first half of the night after sleep, children's head obvious sweating. Because the pillow is stimulated by sweat, the baby often shakes his head and rubs the pillow when sleeping. As a result, the occipital hair is sparse and falls off, forming a typical occipital ring alopecia, which is called "pillow baldness" in medicine. It is an early manifestation of infantile rickets. As long as vitamin D and calcium are supplemented in time, rickets can be controlled, and sweating will stop itself.
