What Causes Excessive Sweating In Toddlers?

Hallo, this is about my son who is even year old. Since last two years he is getting up at night after about an hour of sleep, with sweat on his chest and back, couging and then he cries and vommitts. We have consulted many doctors in Kolkata and Mumbai, they have done his EEG and CT Scan of brain and ruled out the chances of Epliepsy. He had been diagnosed for night terror and prescribed medicine Zapiz .25. We have been giving him the medicine since last one year. with the medicine, the incidence occured may be at interval of 12 to 15 days. Since last one week the he is getting up every night with the same occurence. Need help.

Hi,

The symptoms suggest a disturbed sleep. Make sleep hygiene a routine. Don't give tea, coffee and chocolate in the evening. Make him play in the evening at terrace. You may give melatonin tablet after consultation with your pediatrician.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Rajmohan, Pediatrician
