What causes children to be weak and sweat excessively?

Children's physical condition is definitely weaker than that of adults, but that doesn't mean that children will be weak. Therefore, we should pay more attention when some children are weak and sweat a lot, to avoid being caused by some disease. So what is the reason for children's physical weakness and excessive sweating? Next, let’s ask an authoritative expert to explain it to you.

Excessive sweating in children can be divided into two categories: physiological excessive sweating and pathological excessive sweating. Physiological hyperhidrosis often has obvious causes, such as wearing too many clothes, strenuous exercise, eating spicy and irritating foods, etc. Once the causes of hyperhidrosis are eliminated, the phenomenon of hyperhidrosis will disappear. Moreover, these children are generally in good health and no other diseases are found.

The causes of pathological hyperhidrosis in children are relatively complex and are symptoms of the combined effects of multiple diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately diagnose the diseases related to childhood hyperhidrosis and find out the root cause in order to effectively treat childhood hyperhidrosis.

So, from what aspects can parents observe and identify the nature of children's excessive sweating?

The time when excessive sweating occurs, for example, in active rickets, excessive sweating mostly occurs after sleeping at night, and the sweat gradually decreases after deep sleep; in tuberculosis or other chronic wasting diseases, excessive sweating occurs all night, which is what Chinese medicine calls night sweats; excessive sweating on an empty stomach should be considered as hypoglycemia; excessive sweating when squatting and suddenly standing up should pay attention to orthostatic hypotension caused by temporary cerebral ischemia.

Excessive sweating and associated symptoms: Excessive sweating accompanied by occipital baldness (commonly known as children's hat ring), square forehead, beaded ribs and other bone changes are mostly rickets; excessive sweating accompanied by low fever, loss of appetite, weight loss, etc., tuberculosis and other chronic wasting diseases should be suspected; excessive sweating accompanied by symptoms such as migratory bone and joint swelling and pain and increased heart rate, attention should be paid to rheumatism.

Excessive sweating and age. For example, if infants and young children sweat excessively, attention should be paid to active rickets; if older children sweat excessively, special attention should be paid to tuberculosis, rheumatism and parasitic infections.

Excessive sweating on one side of the body may indicate brain disease; excessive sweating on the head is more common in rickets.

Of course, in order to identify pathological hyperhidrosis in children, in addition to combining medical history and physical sign analysis, relevant examinations should also be carried out to make a correct diagnosis and treatment. Parents should not draw conclusions on their own and give their children medication at will. If you find that your child has the above symptoms, you can take your child to the hospital for examination and describe the child's symptoms in detail to the doctor so that a timely and correct diagnosis can be made.
