night sweats in 5 yr old

Hey Linda:

No, there may be something else going on with your little Girl to cause the nightmares and/or sweats or this may just be a norm for her. Her numbers are not out of the ordinary. The normal is about 80-120 range but that varies a bit this way or that with each Person. Children's numbers can go higher because of their continual growing bodies. Also keep in mind that the numbers that the meters give you are not exact. They can be 15-20% off.

I'm Glad that she has an appointment next week before school starts. That will give you a Good opportunity to discuss this with her Dr. and ask for the blood tests. That will give you more accurate results than the meter. We'd be interested to know what happens. I hope that all goes Well for your Daughter and that she(and you) have/has a Great school year.
