Why does Xiaobao always sweat on the head while sleeping?

Baby often sweating on the head during sleep may be related to physiological factors, such as environmental conditions, or could result from pathological causes like calcium deficiency or hyperhidrosis. Attention should be paid to improving care, and treatment measures should be selected according to the underlying cause. The specific analysis is as follows:

1. Physiological Factors

If the room temperature is too high during sleep or the baby is dressed in excessive clothing, sweating may occur. No special treatment is needed in such cases; simply adjusting the room temperature and improving the sleep environment will suffice.

2. Pathological Factors

1) Calcium Deficiency
If the baby lacks calcium, it may lead to increased activity of the central nervous system, resulting in symptoms such as head sweating and poor sleep quality. It is recommended to seek timely medical diagnosis. After confirmation, follow the doctor's instructions to take medications such as calcium gluconate oral solution, calcium acetate granules, or vitamin D calcium chewable tablets for regulation, while also paying attention to daily dietary adjustments.

2) Hyperhidrosis
If the baby is frightened during sleep, it may increase sympathetic nerve impulses and acetylcholine secretion, placing sweat glands in an excited state and causing symptoms such as sweating and restlessness. In such cases, treatment under medical guidance with medications like Yupingfeng Granules, Xuhan Ting Granules, or Maiwei Dihuang Oral Liquid may be appropriate, along with enhanced hygiene practices.

In addition, other conditions such as pediatric tuberculosis, iron-deficiency anemia, or rickets could also be potential causes. It is important to monitor the baby’s growth and development, and seek prompt medical attention if any abnormal symptoms arise.
