Hi everyone! I haven't posted in a long time but used to be very active up until my DS was about 2...
He is now 4 and I have a health concern and I'm going crazy worrying.
DS has for as long as I can remember sweated at night when he first falls asleep. Not a clothes or bed drenching sweat...just enough to wet his hairline and make a sweat mark on his pillow. The sweat seems to just be coming from his head. He's always done this and my husband has always said it's probably just because he's sleeping so hard...he sleeps REALLY hard and won't take naps so he literally crashes out when it's been time.
I mentioned this sweating thing to my best friend who's a nurse last night just out of curiosity to see if her daughter did the same and she said no and she seemed very concerned and asked me to make an appointment to take him to the doctor for it. Another weird thing is his temp drops way down to 96 when he sweats ljke this...but after about two hours after falling asleep he's not sweating anymore and his temp rises up to 97.8-98 or so.
Of course I googled and completely freaked myself out!! Apparently night sweats can mean cancer...diabetes...and other scary things!!:( I'm just so worried and of course our pedi is closed for the holiday weekend and won't be open again until Tuesday. Can someone relate to these weird symptoms? Anyone else's kid sweat at night?

Re: Night sweats-very concerned
I also have autimmune thyroid disease and started on thyroid hormone about 3-4 months after that, but the night sweats had already stopped. Its certainly worth talking to the doctor, but I don't think I have any crazy diseases
