Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi Dr. Kondekar, My daughter is 14 months old. She just got her fourth dose of a vaccine on Thursday (today is Saturday). She didn t get a fever this time, unlike the previous times. However I am noticing that her forehead is cold and sweaty. Also last night she was very sweaty right after we put her to bed--her head was dripping in sweat. Now she did have some baby oatmeal before she went to bed---I read online that that could be part of it. Later throughout the night when I checked on her she wasn t sweaty anymore. Before the vaccine, she did have a tendency to get sweaty at night when it was hot (I don t remember her getting sweaty at night during the winter). We don t sleep with the a/c on, just a fan sometimes. In any event should I worry? Could this be an infection? Furthermore, what does her previous sweating mean? She s an active and healthy baby. Please let me know. Thanks, Tami
Hi..coming to your queries - 1. You need not worry if the baby is not having fever and is active. 2. This is not infection. 3. Previous sweating also need not be worried about if the kid is not turning blue and not having fast breathing. Regards - Dr. Sumanth
