What Causes Excessive Sweating In A Child?

My son started sweating profusely one day all over his body it looked like he just got out of the shower. Now he sweats only on his right side and mainly on his torso. This happened shortly after he took minocycline and he had also had dental work shortly before this started. Any ideas on what he may have?

Hi..whatever you are mentioning is not a known or routine side effect of Minocycline. But I suggest you see a local physician and get your son evaluated for autonomic instability. He needs a blood pressure check and catecholamine level evacuation too.
