A member asked:
What is the best thing to do? my tot sweating when he's taking a nap and in evening. he had pneumonia 3x last yr. is that the cause of sweating?

Maybe he feels hot: While pneumonia can cause sweating, it usually happens when the fever associated with the lung infection "breaks". Given your geography (Philippines) I suspect that he is just feeling hot from the ambient temperature & humidity. One way to check is to measure your tot's temperature just b4 the sweating starts. If it is more than 39.5 deg C, seek a doctor to help diagnosis cause of temp. Good luck!
