If a person sweats heavily in his sleep in the summer, you need to find out why, because it is not considered normal. It is particularly important to pay attention to the problem, if such a condition is often seen in children. Realizing what circumstances provoked the violation of thermoregulation of a particular area of ​​the body of the child, adults will be able to choose the most appropriate method of treatment.

Features thermoregulation early age

At birth, the young person's body temperature corresponds to the temperature of the body of his mother. It varies in the range of 37.5 to 38.8 degrees Celsius. If repeated measurements after 2-3 hours, the rate becomes less than 1-2 degrees.

During the first months of life 37-37.2 body temperature is considered to have a baby are normal. In the absence of adverse symptoms (runny nose, cough, restlessness), it should not cause concern among parents. Due to the fact that the child's thermoregulatory system is adjusted only with time, it may sweat profusely, and not only in a dream, but also while eating or playing games.

To avoid dehydration, parents should respect the basic rules for the care of your baby:

• regularly ventilate the room, growing up where a person spends most of the time;
• not coddle the child either at home or on the street;
• feed on demand (when the grudnichka breastfed);
• keep drinking regime.

The reasons that a child may sweat profusely during sleep, can also be associated with heat transfer features at an early age:

• skin surface area grudnichka much greater than the total weight of his body (this is due to increased heat transfer);
• greater number of blood vessels, forming overall system;
• lack of cold shivering;
• high intensity continuous processes of metabolism.

Innocuous reasons for the appearance of sweat

Child strongly sweats during sleep (the reasons should be determined by a specialist, after due examination of the small patient) is not always due to the presence of serious illness. There are a number of harmless circumstances affecting the allocation of excessive amounts of sweat.

Among them:

• overheating persists for a long period of time (usually arises from the desire of young parents to dress warmly as possible a newborn. Adults mistakenly think that he is so weak and defenseless, that it is necessary to freeze the slightest breath of wind);
• unsuitable climate in an apartment or a child's room (in order to avoid dryness of the skin of the child, dehydration and, as a consequence, heat disorders, pediatricians recommend regularly ventilate the room in which most of the time the baby and humidify the air in it);
• a large percentage of synthetic materials used in the manufacture of items of wardrobe of the younger people (mothers and fathers should carefully choose clothes infants, focusing on its structure, which should be as natural - cotton, linen, and so Further);
• genetic predisposition;
• the presence of excess weight creates extra strain on the circulatory system of the body;
• disease, or often catarrhal infection accompanied by fever (due to release a large amount of sweat from the body get rid of harmful bacteria, toxins);
  
• an overabundance of emotion, excitement (scientists proved that children experience emotion at any age even so, as do adults).

Why is sweating heavily in the child's head during sleep

• infectious or viral diseases, usually in the initial stage (when ingested pathogens cell temperature rises, which could provoke fever accompanied by strong sweating);
• lack of vitamin D, whereby the child's body is subjected to development rickets;
• diabetes or abrupt changes of glucose concentration in the child's body;
• dysfunction of the endocrine system;
• cancers (benign or malignant);
• disease of the heart muscle or blood vessels (arrhythmia, tachycardia, vascular insufficiency);
• airways or lung disease (e.g., asthma).

Sweat is a kind of protection of the child's body. In fluid output of the sweat glands, he tries to get rid of toxins, microbes and bacteria, affecting its normal operation.

In the dream sweats back

When the child wakes wet back, must be guarded because after the child portion the body is covered with perspiration, he subsequently may freeze due to lower allocated temperature liquid. This can lead not only to the usual discomfort for a little man, but also the emergence of catarrhal diseases of various kinds.

• pathologies of the nervous system (such as hypertonus limbs vegetostonii or intracranial pressure);
• genetic abnormalities or inherited diseases commonly identified skilled in the first months of life a baby;
• overweight, provoking an additional strain on the heart and blood vessels;
• allergic reactions in the tissue from which the sewn pajamas or bedding child.

In the absence of identified pathologies, it is usually concluded that excessive sweating during sleep back - this is a specific feature of a particular child. This is rare (approximately 1 in 45).

Sweating during sleep after illness

But one of the first questions that the pediatrician will find out when you contact the parents to complain about their sweating baby during sleep, will be the presence of current or recently resolved diseases (colds, viral, infectious).

Especially children's thermoregulation is considered its implementation of the respiratory system.

In adults, thermoregulation occurs by contraction and expansion of blood vessels of the skin. Lack of ability to smooth breathing in ailing child is due to excessive sweating.

In the case of recent myocardial disease among the reasons for thermoregulation disorders include:

• Protective output organism pathogenic cells, provoked or ARI ARI;
• current inflammation, perceived by experts as a complication after undergoing disease (it may have any orientation, from bronchial asthma to renal inflammation or cardiac arrhythmias);
• nedolechennaya cold (e.g., residual cough prevents the free flow of air inhaled by the baby, whereby the heat transfer is disrupted, resulting in excessive sweating);
• the initial stage of pneumonia, often provoked by the common cold.

In order to avoid unintended consequences, parents is important to complete the course of treatment of the child, without stopping the intake of drugs upon the occurrence of a slight improvement. In addition, pediatricians are also advised to avoid finding just been ill child in crowded areas, because of the weakening of immunity.
