What should I do if my three-month-old baby’s palms and soles are always sweating?

Many parents will find that after their children are born, they always sweat on their palms and soles. Moreover, sometimes, the palms and soles of the feet will be wet, which is very obvious. Many parents will be very worried. What is going on with this situation of their children? Could it be caused by some diseases in the body? I don’t know much about it. Let me explain it today!

Sweating in your hands is different from sweating in other parts of your body. The other parts sweat because of the heat, and the hotter it is, the more sweat you sweat. Sweating on the palms is related to physical fitness, endocrine system, etc. For a healthy person, the palms should be dry even if the whole body is sweating. People who often sweat on their hands often have no sweat on their bodies, but their palms are full of cold sweat and feel cold. Some people's hands sweat more as winter approaches.

Sweating in the palms of your hands is a sign of a weak constitution. If you are also afraid of cold and your hands and feet are cold in winter, then this is probably the case. Eat more warming and nourishing foods to regulate your body, and strengthen your exercise to speed up blood circulation and promote metabolism, which should have good results.

Excessive sweating in children can be divided into two categories: physiological excessive sweating and pathological excessive sweating. There are often obvious reasons for physiological excessive sweating, such as wearing too many clothes, strenuous exercise, having just eaten, taking too much antipyretic drugs, etc. Once the causes of excessive sweating are eliminated, the phenomenon of excessive sweating will disappear. The causes of pathological hyperhidrosis in babies are quite complicated and are symptoms caused by the combined effects of multiple diseases. Excessive sweating may occur at night after sleeping, and the sweat gradually decreases after deep sleep. It is accompanied by bone changes such as baldness on the back of the head, square forehead, and flared ribs. It is mostly caused by calcium deficiency.

If the child continues to have this condition and the parents are not reassured, it is recommended that the child be taken to the hospital for a check-up. It is best to do a trace element test to see if the child is suffering from calcium or zinc deficiency. The child can be taken out to bask in the sun more often. If the calcium deficiency is very serious, calcium supplements are needed.
