What causes children to sweat?

Children's physical health is the biggest concern for parents. Especially for young babies, parents will feel that they should have their babies checked and treated in time if there is any problem. Being active and lively is a child's nature, but because of this, many children sweat a lot. This also makes most parents very worried, because they think that their children must be lacking substances such as trace elements in their bodies. What is the reason why children sweat so much?

Excessive sweating is not caused by calcium deficiency, but by vitamin D deficiency. It may also be due to a high metabolic rate. As long as weight and height growth are normal, it won't have much impact. If necessary, blood alkaline phosphatase or wrist X-ray can be performed to check for active rickets. If you don't have the Chinese patent medicine "Yupingfeng", you can buy it in any general pharmacy.

There are many reasons why children sweat excessively when sleeping, both physiological and pathological. Physiological hyperhidrosis is caused by hot weather, high room temperature, excessive clothing or too thick quilts. Some parents like to feed their children a bottle of milk before going to bed. After feeding, the child falls asleep quietly. However, this is the stage of heat production after feeding, so the child often sweats profusely. This type of sweating is caused by the body's regulation of body temperature. Sweating often occurs more when just falling asleep and then gradually decreases. Because children have an active metabolism, high skin water content, more microvessels, and immature autonomic nerves, they sweat a lot, which is completely normal.

Pathological hyperhidrosis occurs when a person sweats a lot during the entire sleep process. Children with rickets begin to sweat profusely after falling asleep, especially on the head, which can soak the pillow or pillowcase, and are accompanied by baldness on the pillow and crying. Children with active tuberculosis not only sweat in the first half of the night, but also often sweat in the second half of the night and before dawn, which is called night sweats. At the same time, children may have symptoms such as low fever, cough, weight loss, weakness, and flushed face.
