What is the reason for children's sweating on their heads? The reasons for children's sweating on their heads are as follows:

1. Hot weather is one of the reasons why children sweat a lot. Sweating is a nerve reflex in the body. Children are in the stage of growth and development, their physiological metabolism is vigorous, and the regulatory function of the nervous system is not very sound, so they sweat a lot. This is medically called physiological hyperhidrosis. Children with this kind of physiological hyperhidrosis will sweat more obviously in the following situations, such as in summer, when children wear too many or too tight clothes, when children are active, when eating hot food, when they are nervous or scared. If the child has no other abnormal symptoms, that is, it is physiological hyperhidrosis. Such children sweat a lot, not because of physical weakness. Parents do not need to worry and no special medication is needed.

2. Sometimes sweating is caused by certain diseases. Children tend to sweat easily after falling asleep at night, often wetting their vests or bed sheets, and they are prone to getting sick when they catch a cold. This phenomenon is medically called "night sweats", which may be a manifestation of calcium deficiency in children and an early manifestation of rickets. Parents must pay attention to this problem. It turns out that in addition to the growth and development of bones, the development of various body systems also requires the participation of calcium. Calcium deficiency will cause the body's self-regulation system to be disordered, causing a series of neurological symptoms. Night sweats and excessive sweating are common phenomena.

For physiological hyperhidrosis, you can use homemade floating wheat glutinous rice porridge, which can effectively stop sweating. That is, take 50 grams of glutinous rice and floating wheat every day, add appropriate amount of water, cook porridge over low heat, and drink frequently. Or use 15 grams of Astragalus, 20 jujubes, add appropriate amount of water, simmer the soup, drink the soup and eat the jujubes, 1 dose per day.

In addition, children suffering from tuberculosis, anemia, rheumatism, rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases may also sweat excessively. Therefore, when children sweat excessively, they should go to the hospital in time to rule out certain diseases causing the excessive sweating.
