What Causes Excessive Sweating In A Child?

My 3 year old son has always been very hot natured and sweats when participating in physical activity. He recently had his tonsils out so we have been sharing a bed and I have noticed that he excessively sweats during sleep to the point where he drenches his pillow or anything that he comes in contact with. While his body is sweaty, he mainly sweats alot from his head. No excessive urination though. Thoughts?

hi, its a very common problem with kids and its usually seen that its due to low calcium levels , i would suggest you give him Syrup Calcium once a day for 2 months. his sweating will reduce down. do proper head wash to prevent infections in the head due to sweating.
