What could be the cause of my daughter's night sweats?

Night aweats can occur for many reasons some of which are benign (environmantal, night terrors) and others are serious (infections and cancer). You will need to provide more information about age, travel, exposure or interaction with animals, sick contacts and any other symptoms in order to narrow down the possibilities.
Better still, see a physician especially if she is having drenching night sweats.
