What is the reason why children sweat a lot?

Babies are very curious, so they often move around, which will lead to a lot of sweat. Babies' physical development is also very fast, and their metabolism is also very vigorous, so sweating has become a common phenomenon. Some babies sweat due to diseases. It can be seen that sweating is divided into physiological and pathological types. So what is the reason for children's excessive sweating?

First, why do children sweat a lot? Physiological sweating. Infants and young children are in a rapid stage of growth and development. Their metabolism is more vigorous than that of adults, and they are always active. In addition, their skin contains more water and their capillaries are widely distributed. More importantly, their bodies have poor ability to regulate cold and heat. Once they are stimulated or excited by the environment, more water is dissipated through the skin, especially in hot seasons, when the room temperature is too high, when the clothes or bedding are too thick, when they eat hot food quickly, or after activities. The nervous system functions of infants and young children are not yet fully developed, and the high excitability of the sympathetic nerves can lead to excessive sweating. As the baby's nervous system gradually develops, this sweating phenomenon will improve.

Second, pathological sweating (1) is caused by internal diseases in the body. Many diseases can cause it, such as malnutrition, active rickets, active tuberculosis, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, etc. However, at the same time as sweating, obvious symptoms of the primary disease will also appear. (2) The presence of neurological diseases in the body. If the sweating is localized or half-body, it is mostly caused by nervous system diseases, but it is also accompanied by various manifestations of nervous system diseases. (3) Fever. When the body has a fever, antipyretic drugs are used to induce sweating all over the body to lower the body temperature.

What is the reason why children sweat a lot? Through the introduction of the above content, you can find out the specific reasons and the correct treatment methods: most of the baby's sweating is physiological sweating, especially when the ambient temperature rises, the mother does not take off the baby's clothes in time, or the baby is engaged in strenuous activities, running, jumping, or playing. Therefore, as long as the baby has no other discomfort, it is normal for him to sweat more than adults. Mommy does not need to panic, and must not give the baby medicine without authorization to avoid adverse consequences. Rickets is a common disease among infants. Many babies sweat because of it. So after excluding the reasons mentioned above, when the baby sweats excessively, you should pay attention to whether the baby lacks outdoor activities? Have vitamin D preparations been added? Especially for babies who are bottle-fed. At the same time, observe whether there are other symptoms such as night crying, night terrors, irritability, and hair loss at the back of the head. If you experience any of the above symptoms, you should consult a doctor.
