What to do if your baby sweats on his back

Many parents find that their babies sweat on their backs and don’t know what is going on. Sometimes they even worry that their babies have some disease. But after going to the hospital for a checkup, there was nothing wrong. This makes many parents feel very confused. In fact, it is normal for children to sweat on their backs. Parents do not need to worry too much. In order to make parents feel more at ease, let us take a look at the explanation below.

Children's physical constitution is still in the development stage, their muscles and skin are still very weak, and they sweat more easily than adults. If a child is simply sweating a small amount, growing and developing well, and is energetic, without any other symptoms, this is a normal phenomenon. On the contrary, if the child does not sweat at all, you should consider that there is a problem with sweat excretion.

If you sweat excessively and have other symptoms, you should consider whether you are sick. Children's sweating may manifest as sweating on the hands and feet, sweating in the chest and heart, sweating on half of the body, spontaneous sweating, night sweats, etc.

Night sweats are also called "sweating during sleep" and stop after waking up. Generally, children's night sweats are mostly caused by yin deficiency and heat disturbance, which makes the heart fluid unable to be stored. However, what we see is that not long after the child falls asleep, he sweats a lot on his head, chest, back, etc., often soaking the pillow, pajamas, etc. This is because the child's body temperature rises as soon as he falls asleep, and the night sweats of children who sweat a lot at this time are very obvious. This is a physiological phenomenon.

Children who sweat a lot tend to experience night sweats in March, April or November. But they have one common characteristic, that is, night sweats only occur before 12 o'clock at night (that is, the first half of the night), and the sweating will stop automatically in the second half of the night. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that children have strong yang energy and their yin energy has not yet reached its peak in the first half of the night, so they will sweat. In the second half of the night, the yin energy gradually increases and suppresses the yang energy in the child's body from escaping, so in the second half of the night, the child's sweat will naturally stop.

When a child suffers from sweating due to illness, in addition to seeking medical examination and treatment, you can also choose appropriate dietary adjustments at home.

At home, if parents still can't tell what kind of symptoms their child's sweating belongs to, they can think that spontaneous sweating is mostly a result of yang deficiency, while night sweats are mostly a result of yin deficiency. Therefore, in terms of dietary conditioning, you can replenish Yang Qi according to spontaneous sweating and eat foods that strengthen the spleen and replenish Qi; for night sweats, you can eat foods that nourish Yin deficiency and promote yin and body fluid production.

Children sweat a lot when they sleep and when they are active, but their growth and development are normal. Most of these parents have taken their children to see a doctor or consulted a doctor to rule out various diseases. Although no treatment is needed, excessive sweating is always worrying. It has been observed that in addition to children sweating excessively due to wearing too many clothes or covering themselves with too many quilts, excessive sweating in children is often directly related to their diet.

Children nowadays no longer have to worry about malnutrition, but rather have to pay attention to overnutrition. Many children eat high-calorie fish and shrimp almost every day. Fish and shrimp are fresh and tender, and children love to eat them. At the same time, parents believe that fish and shrimp are more nutritious than meat, so they always think that they should be given more to children.

We have made some simple explanations above about the problem of babies sweating easily, and also introduced some dietary therapy methods to parents. In life, you must pay more attention to your child’s diet. It is best to achieve a balanced nutrition. Don’t just let your child eat big fish and meat, but also let your child eat some fruits and vegetables appropriately, so that your child’s body can be healthier.
