Accepted Answer

: This is just a label used to describe a person whose skull and facial features differ from what is considered normal values.

Question 10

is it normal for a 2 year old to sweat only her head while she is asleep?

Accepted Answer

Yes &amp; no: The head of an infant is relatively large to the other body parts, gradually reducing in relative size until adulthood. At 2 yrs of age the head is one of the largest surfaces where a child exchanges heat with the environment, It is also generally uncovered allowing this exchange to occur. It can be a normal vent or an early symptom of illness. If the kid is otherwise thriving I ignore it.
