What causes hot soles at night?

Heat in the soles at night may be caused by physiological factors, or it could be related to pathological conditions such as autonomic nervous system dysfunction or tuberculosis. After onset, follow medical advice for medication and ensure adequate bed rest.

I. Physiological Factors

Wearing thick socks or heavy blankets at night may impair heat dissipation from the skin of the feet, leading to localized warmth. This usually requires no special treatment; simply choosing appropriately thick bedding or socks is sufficient.

II. Pathological Factors

1. Autonomic Nervous System Dysfunction

Dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system alters local temperature perception, causing sensations of heat in the palms and soles, often accompanied by symptoms such as dry mouth and a dry tongue. During an episode, medications such as oryzanol tablets, vitamin B1 tablets, and mecobalamin tablets should be taken as prescribed to control symptom progression promptly.

2. Tuberculosis

After onset, Mycobacterium tuberculosis multiplies in the body and releases large amounts of tubercular toxins, resulting in persistent low-grade fever, along with symptoms like dizziness and headache. It is recommended to follow medical guidance for anti-tuberculosis drug therapy; medications such as isoniazid tablets, rifampicin capsules, and pyrazinamide tablets can effectively relieve symptoms.

In addition, this condition may also be associated with factors such as chronic pyelonephritis. During illness, cooperate with medical treatment and maintain a well-balanced daily diet.
