Sweating is a condition that many people experience. After sweating, you need to relieve it in time, otherwise excessive sweating will also affect the skin. What should you do if your baby's head sweats a lot? There are some improvement methods for babies in this situation, but when relieving it, you need to understand the reasons why the baby's head sweats a lot, so that when treating it, you will know what to do best.

Reasons why baby's head sweats:

There are two reasons for babies' night sweats. One is physiological night sweats and the other is pathological night sweats. The mother should first help the baby find out which reason causes the baby's night sweats.

Physiological night sweats occur because the baby's skin contains more moisture, rich capillaries, and active metabolism, but the baby's ability to regulate these is not yet perfect, so he or she tends to sweat more easily if he or she moves more. If the baby is active before going to bed or has just finished eating, the heat in the baby's body will increase, causing the baby to sweat a lot after sleeping. This situation generally does not require medication, just adjust the baby's living habits. For example, limit the intensity of your baby's activities before going to bed, don't eat too much before going to bed, and don't wear too thick clothes to sleep.

Pathological night sweats may be caused by rickets, which is more common in babies under three years old. The main symptom is sweating in the first half of the night, which is caused by low blood calcium in the baby. Tuberculosis can also cause babies to sweat, but it happens all night long. In cases of pathological night sweats, babies will generally become irritable, cry a lot, and become thin. In this case, the mother should take the baby to the hospital for examination and give the baby medication under the guidance of the doctor. If you are calcium deficient, you need to supplement calcium and vitamin D. If you have tuberculosis, you need to receive anti-tuberculosis treatment. After your baby sweats, be sure to dry his skin in time and change into dry clothes to prevent him from catching a cold. In addition, your baby should be exposed to more sun and participate in more outdoor activities to improve the body's resistance.

After understanding the reasons why your baby's head sweats a lot, when alleviating the baby's sweating on the head, you should pay attention to choosing simple foods for your baby's diet. Giving your baby some complex foods at this time will not do any good to the baby's body, but will cause other problems in the baby's body. This is also something you should pay attention to.
