Suggest Treatment For Excessive Sweating In A 4 Year Old Child
My sleeping 4 year old has a temp of 96.0 and is sweating so bad his clothes are drenched... He didn t want anything for dinner other than a few grapes and complained of being cold before he fell asleep even though he was sweating. Should I be concerned?
As per my clinical experience, tummy discomfort with loss of appetite and high grade fever with sweating indicates underlying GI infection most likely. The primary relief with anti-pyretic as acetaminophen or paracetamol syrup or dispersible tablet and later on pediatrician consultation is a must for necessary prescription of GI specific antibiotics to cover the infection better way. Till that time, allow him plenty of liquids including oral re-hydration salt, offer rice, curd and butter milk for GI flora support.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
