A member asked:

My son is 8 months old & seems to be sweating more than usual, normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

This can be normal: Some children have a higher tendency to sweat than other children. You can start by putting less layers on him and seeing if there is any difference. Excessive sweating can be a sign of fever if illness is present. Rarely, this can be a sign of a heart or thyroid condition.
