A member asked:
What will happen to my baby if i just let her sweat dry on her skin especially at her back? can it cause pneumonia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Sweating is a natural adaptive response to regulate body temperature. We sweat every day of our lives whether we realize it or not, and we don't get pneumonia from sweating, ever.
