What causes baby sweating?

Many children are born with a weak constitution. The reasons for this are quite complicated. Some children also often suffer from night sweats due to their constitution. When babies sweat profusely, many parents are worried. This is not normal sweat secretion and is likely caused by a disease in the body. So what causes babies to sweat?

Traditional Chinese medicine tells us that spontaneous sweating is closely related to the patient's physical weakness. When the patient's nervous system is unstable, it will cause the skin pores to open and close abnormally, and sweat will easily flow out, which often happens after falling asleep at night or during activities during the day. Parents should pay attention to their children's diet, especially their nutritional intake, and give them more protein, fat and sugar. If the symptoms are severe, Chinese medicine should be used for treatment.

Calcium deficiency in babies can also cause sweating. Common manifestations include crying, night sweats, bald spots on the back of the head, square head, etc. If you find that your child has such symptoms, you should take them to the hospital to check for trace elements to see if the baby is calcium deficient. Do not delay, otherwise it will affect their physical development.

There are also some diseases that can cause children to sweat, and parents should observe carefully, for example, if the baby suffers from tuberculosis, rickets, infectious diseases, etc. Children with tuberculosis may also experience complications such as fever, cough, general fatigue, and weight loss, and should receive timely medical treatment.
