Night sweats in children are classified into physiological and pathological night sweats.
Physiological night sweats are due to the fact that when children are young, their skin is very tender and contains more water, their capillaries are rich, their metabolism is vigorous and their autonomic regulation is not yet complete, so they generally do not need special treatment.
Pathological night sweats have more causes and generally require cause-specific treatment, such as night sweats due to rickets, which are mainly treated by vitamin D supplementation.
