What are the symptoms of baby night sweats

The problem of baby's night sweats can be said to be a problem that many parents can easily find, especially night sweats. Some may also be accompanied by anorexia, crying at night, thinning hair, lack of luster, and pale complexion. These symptoms are likely caused by spleen deficiency, so we must pay attention to their physical health and pay attention to the physical and mental development of children. Of course, we must strengthen nutrition in diet and supplement a reasonable diet.

1. Symptoms

Children who are susceptible to spleen deficiency usually show poorer growth and development than normal children. Symptoms may also include spontaneous sweating, night sweats, crying at night, anorexia, thinning and dull hair, pale or sallow complexion, unpalatable stools (or dry or shapeless), fatigue, cold hands and feet, or hot palms, frequent colds and coughs, etc. The tongue is pale, the tongue coating is thin or there is desquamation, and the pulse is thready and weak. Laboratory tests may reveal anemia, low immunoglobulin, and trace element deficiencies. For children with spleen deficiency and susceptibility, Chinese medicine often advocates active treatment of the root cause, that is, strengthening the spleen, replenishing qi and strengthening the foundation, so as to reduce or eliminate the occurrence of respiratory tract reinfection. Commonly used methods include strengthening the spleen and replenishing qi, strengthening the body and consolidating the exterior, and replenishing qi and nourishing yin.

2. Prevention Methods

When children have night sweats, the first thing to do is to find out the cause in time and give appropriate treatment. Drug treatment is generally not recommended for physiological night sweats. Instead, appropriate measures should be taken to eliminate factors in life that cause high fever. For example, if a child exercises too much before going to bed, or eats a high-calorie meal that causes night sweating, the child's activity level and food intake before going to bed should be controlled. This will also help the child sleep and control obesity, and is beneficial to the child's physical and mental health. Some children sweat profusely at night because the room temperature is too high or the quilt is too thick. The bedroom temperature in winter should be between 24℃ and 28℃; the thickness of the quilt should be increased or decreased with the change of temperature. Generally speaking, if parents pay attention to the above-mentioned factors that may easily cause increased heat production and overcome them, the chances of night sweats will naturally decrease. Even if children occasionally have one or two severe thieves sweats, there is no need to worry too much. The main loss of body fluids and salts due to night sweats can be fully replenished through a reasonable daily diet. For children with pathological night sweats, treatment should be directed at the cause.

3. Treatment Methods

Since children with spleen deficiency often show a group of comprehensive symptoms, comprehensive prevention and treatment measures should be taken for treatment. The most important thing is that parents should learn some scientific parenting knowledge and pay attention to the following issues:

1. Strengthen nutrition, eat a reasonable diet, combine meat and vegetables, and eat both coarse and fine foods. Correct the child's picky eating and anorexia habits to enhance physical fitness.
