Why does my baby sweat a lot?

Many mothers will find that their babies sometimes sweat a lot when taking care of them, especially in summer. Many babies may sweat while lying in bed. At this time, babies are most likely to get dyshidrotic eczema, and diaper eczema is also caused by sweating. So if the baby sweats a lot, mothers should take the baby to see a doctor. So why does the baby sweat a lot?

There are many reasons why babies sweat a lot . First of all, babies like to move more, so they sweat more easily. Babies with calcium deficiency may also sweat a lot. Generally speaking, sweating is a sign of physical weakness. Sweating after a little activity during the day is called "spontaneous sweating". Chinese medicine believes that it is a sign of qi deficiency. For such children, we should pay attention to diet. Do not eat raw, cold, icy foods, and hard and indigestible foods. Instead, they should eat more foods that have a spleen-strengthening effect, such as japonica rice, coix seed, yam, lentils, lotus seeds, jujube, etc. Sweating after falling asleep at night is called "night sweats". Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is caused by yin deficiency. You should avoid eating fried, deep-fried, grilled, smoked, greasy and spicy foods. In addition to physical weakness, excessive sweating can also be caused by diseases, such as tuberculosis, rickets, hyperthyroidism, as well as endocrine and infectious diseases. If you find that your child is thin, has abnormal appetite, has a low fever in the afternoon, has a dry cough, etc., you must take the child to the hospital for examination to rule out organic diseases. For babies who sweat a lot, parents should wipe their bodies with a dry towel at any time, or put a small towel on their backs to prevent them from catching a cold due to sweat soaking their clothes. In addition, you can also take some Chinese medicine, such as astragalus, jujube, etc., which have the effect of replenishing qi and restraining sweat. The Chinese patent medicine Yupingfeng Granules has preventive and conditioning effects, and is more effective for spontaneous sweating. It can be taken until about two weeks after the symptoms of excessive sweating are significantly relieved.

Although excessive sweating in children does not necessarily mean that they are sick, it should be noted that frequent excessive sweating is not good for children.

First, due to excessive sweating, children are prone to catching colds.

Second, the more you sweat, the more water you lose, and at the same time you also lose a small amount of salt. Sweat contains salt, and long-term water and salt loss is not good for the human body. Third, frequent sweating affects personal hygiene. Therefore, parents should pay attention to the care of children with excessive sweating.

1. Wipe, wash and change frequently. Wipe off the sweat on the child's head and body in time, change and wash the child's underwear frequently, and pay attention to personal hygiene.

2. Whether it is day or night, do not sleep directly in the wind to avoid the cold wind entering the sweat pores and catching a cold.

3. Drink more water to replenish water and salt.

4. Feed properly and eat more vegetables, fruits and melons. Infants and children with rapid growth and development should supplement calcium in time.

5. Pay attention to other symptoms in daily life. Children who often sweat when they are quiet should seek medical attention in time. In addition, traditional Chinese medicine has a certain effect in treating night sweats.
