What Is The Reason For Heavy Sweating And Low Apetite Of My 6 Month Old Boy?
My 6 month old son has been very irritable and only wants held at times. He has also started sweating a lot. He sweats the most during sleep and episodes of crying. He's not as interested in eating and acts generally uncomfortable. Do I need to be concerned?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Increased irritability and decreased appetite in a baby are usually indicative of an illness.
It is their way of showing that they do not feel well.
Additional signs or symptoms would pinpoint the source of infection.
You need to take him to see his doctor for an assessment.
I hope this helps
