What should I do if my child always sweats?

If children often sweat, parents should pay attention. On the one hand, this may be related to the child's poor physical constitution. On the other hand, parents should be alert to whether the child has some diseases. If the child's sweating is more serious, parents should be especially alert to whether the child's kidney function is good. At this time, the child should be taken to the hospital for examination, and good conditioning and health care should be strengthened in life.

How to treat children's sweating

1. Replenish water and salt

When children sweat a lot, they lose a lot of water and salt. They must replenish water in time and drink more warm water to avoid dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. Parents can also give their children some light salt water on a daily basis to replenish the salt lost in the body. They can also drink more freshly squeezed fruit juices and vegetable soups to supplement vitamins.

2. Exercise in a planned way

Children who often suffer from night sweats should undergo planned physical exercise and ensure more than half an hour of outdoor exercise every day, such as playing football, running, swimming, cycling, climbing, etc. As the amount of exercise increases, the body's internal regulatory ability will be fully exerted, so that various functions can return to normal and the symptoms of night sweats in children can be changed. You can also take more sunbaths, cold water baths, etc. to strengthen your physical fitness and improve your adaptability.

3. Diet adjustment

When children have spontaneous sweating, it is necessary to strengthen their nutrition, eat a balanced diet, combine meat and vegetables, and eat both coarse and fine foods. It is also necessary to correct the child's picky eating and anorexia habits in order to strengthen his or her physical fitness. The following dietary treatments may also be used as reference:
