Suggest Treatment For Night Sweats

My 3 year olds head sweats at night when he uses a pillow, the rest of him is fine and he wakes up dry, it just seems to be just as he has gone to sleep then within a few hours he is dry again, should i be worried or do you know of a special kind of pillow that i could buy that reduces seating?

Hello,

No, you should not be worried. Babies and children do sweat in some non-adult ways. And this is one. Seeing a wet ring-around-their head after a nap or a circle of sweat from under his head when he wakes or when you check on him is normal.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Lisa Baker
