What Causes Sweating On The Forehead Of A 3 Month Old While Sleeping?
My 3 1/2 month baby, due the past well has been breaking out in sweat on her forehead, when she s sleeping, when she s awake and crying and also when she s nursing. What could be the cause? Also she was born at 37 weeks & 3 days and she has been choking on her own saliva struggling to catch her breath, it s scary, that s being going on since she came home. Please and suggestions or helpful information. I m very concerned about both. Also she has had diarrhea for about 3 months. First time mom, I am very concerned. Thank you for your time.

Hi...the symptoms you suggest are fitting into the probability of a congenital heart disease. We cannot separate and see the forehead sweating and choking on her saliva and feeding difficulty as different entities. Kindly see your paediatrician for this. She will need an ECHO of heart.
