4 Year Old. Feels Hot, Sweaty. Even In AC. Should I Be Concern?

My 4 year old has been complaining about being hot, and she has been very sweaty. her hair has been soaked. Last night (she was awake) she started crying and screaming saying she was hot. her hair was soaked from sweat. She did not have clothes on other than panties. The air conditioner is on in the house. Should I be concerned about her sweating so bad and being so hot for o apparent reason.

Hi
Some times hyperthyroidism will lead to fever and excessive sweating. Check the temperature as some times high grade fever like malaria causes high temperatures with excessive sweating. Consult your Doctor for further advise and evaluation.
