Night sweats

[Olly777]

My six year old is having night sweats started when he was four, once or twice a month, but now he is having them most nights about an hour after sleeping. He is drenched. Just wondering if anyone else had similar issues? Did they stop? Etc any advice would be welcome.

My son who is 7 has this,and has as long as I can remember.He also drinks a great deal,which made me wonder about diabetes,but then,I thought surely he would be sick after this long.I don’t know,sorry,I am totally unhelpful!

Not at all unusual in young children, don't worry.

My son (11) has done this for years. He's always sound asleep but drenched. I did worry until I spoke to some friends whose children were the same which reassured me.

Do chat to GP if you're concerned though.

Thank you for you responses really appreciate the advice.
