What is the reason why baby sweats with sour smell?

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, this condition of children is caused by qi deficiency and spleen weakness, but it is not ruled out that it is related to autonomic dysfunction or hyperthyroidism.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spleen is the foundation of children. Many diseases originate from the spleen and stomach, such as diarrhea, constipation, cough, eczema, colds, lack of trace elements, malnutrition, etc. Therefore, nourishing the stomach and strengthening the spleen has become an important task for parents.

To put it simply, "spleen deficiency and susceptibility syndrome" means that children have poor appetite, often catch colds, and may even catch colds several times a month. Many parents have experienced this. Such children are often sick and suffer from repeated respiratory infections. They are also in great pain, thin, and often suffer from malnutrition, anemia, rickets, etc.

Children who are susceptible to spleen deficiency usually show poorer growth and development than normal children. Symptoms may also include spontaneous sweating, night sweats, crying at night, anorexia, thinning and dull hair, pale or sallow complexion, unpalatable stools (or dry or shapeless), fatigue, cold hands and feet, or hot palms, frequent colds and coughs, etc. The tongue is pale, the tongue coating is thin or there is desquamation, and the pulse is thready and weak. Laboratory tests may reveal anemia, low immunoglobulin, and trace element deficiencies.

For children with spleen deficiency and susceptibility, Chinese medicine often advocates active treatment of the root cause, that is, strengthening the spleen, replenishing qi and strengthening the foundation, so as to reduce or eliminate the occurrence of respiratory tract reinfection. Commonly used methods include strengthening the spleen and replenishing qi, strengthening the body and consolidating the exterior, and replenishing qi and nourishing yin.

Generally, you can consider taking some GABA and vitamin B1 tablets to regulate the autonomic nervous system. You should also be careful not to be impatient and not eat spicy and irritating foods. You can also take some children's Diqiao or cod liver oil in combination with calcium acetate and some Chinese medicine preparations and Longmu Bone Strengthening Granules to observe and exercise more often.

Proper feeding

The most critical issue for spleen deficiency is proper feeding and attention to good and reasonable eating hygiene and habits. If some children don’t like to eat, parents have to find out the reason. It may be caused by improper feeding. Some parents chase their children around the house with bowls of food all day long. This is a very bad feeding method.

Don't catch a cold

Children with weak spleen and stomach are prone to external infections. In this case, if they catch a cold, they are also likely to catch a cold, so this type of child requires some care in care.
