What is the reason for children's sweat odor?

Children may also sweat, which may be related to their physical constitution and their active metabolism. They are more active after going to bed, so they sweat a lot while sleeping. Of course, it may also be due to pathological reasons. Vitamin D deficiency or malnutrition, as well as tuberculosis, may all manifest as sweating a lot and smelling sweat.

1. Common causes

1. The metabolism is vigorous; the sympathetic nervous system needs to be fully developed.

2. Be active and lively after going to bed, then fall asleep.

3. Drink hot milk or beverages before going to bed.

4. Too many clothes or quilts.

5. The room temperature is too high. Physiological sweating will naturally improve as the child grows older. For those with severe sweating, you can ask a pediatric Chinese medicine doctor to prescribe Chinese medicine.

2. Pathological causes

1. Vitamin D deficiency rickets

2. Malnutrition anemia and physical weakness.

3. Tuberculosis. Weak children often sweat in patches on their head, chest, and back after daytime activities or after falling asleep at night. This is more common in children around one year old and children before and after weaning. Malnutrition and sweating often occur due to insufficient food intake caused by improper feeding, or inadequate absorption and utilization of food after intake. If you sweat excessively due to the dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system, which leads to excessive secretion of sweat glands, you can eat glutinous rice and wheat porridge, which has the effect of strengthening the spleen and replenishing deficiency, stopping sweating and calming the nerves. Add 50-100 grams of glutinous rice and wheat to water every day, cook it over low heat, then add sugar or meat floss to make porridge and eat it.

3. Daily diet care

Coriander, also known as cilantro, can be added to soup to increase the fragrance of the soup; adding some coriander when cooking livestock dishes can remove the fishy smell. Coriander also has the effect of promoting peripheral blood circulation, but it is indeed very helpful for body odor. So friends should eat less coriander. Keep your skin clean and hygienic, try to wash your armpits and feet frequently, keep them dry, and change your clothes, shoes and socks frequently. Topical drugs that can inhibit sweat such as aluminum chloride, antibacterial drugs such as hexachlorophene, chlorhexidine, neomycin, formaldehyde, and deodorants can be used.
