Why does the boy sweat a lot?

Children are very lively in life, but excessive activity will bring certain adverse effects to the child's body. Among them, excessive sweating is a problem that needs attention, because excessive sweating can easily cause body temperature disorders, induce fever and other health problems, and have an extremely adverse effect on the child's physical development. Let's take a look at why boys sweat too much?

When children have this condition, it is mostly due to calcium deficiency. Children of this age are more active and are more likely to suffer from calcium deficiency. They should check their trace elements.

When the indoor temperature is 25°, it is already a sweating temperature. If children pay attention to keeping warm, they will sweat. Children are different from adults. It is recommended to eat more high-protein foods such as fish, shrimp, etc. in daily diet, drink more milk, and take calcium supplements, cod liver oil, etc.

It may also be related to internal heat. One is heat accumulation in the spleen and stomach, and the other is internal heat due to yin deficiency. The heat forces the body fluids out, so the night sweats continue. Therefore, if the heat is not cleared, the sweating cannot be stopped. To eliminate night sweats, the heat must be cleared.

Children with heat accumulation in the spleen and stomach may have a strong or weak appetite, good spirits, constipation, frequent bowel movements, heavy breath, and no fatigue despite being thin. They play all day long. Treatment requires clearing away heat and relieving constipation, so that the heat can be discharged from below. The author often recommends parents to cook tofu soup for feeding, or use bamboo leaves, scutellaria, radish seeds and other medicines for treatment, which can often make the bowel movements smooth and stop night sweats. Those who eat a lot can return to normal, and those who eat less can eat more.

The most common type is Yin deficiency and internal heat. Due to long-term night sweats, excessive loss of body fluids leads to a Yin deficiency phenomenon, which is often manifested as red and dry lips and tongue, hot hands and soles, dry mouth, drinking a lot of water but not thirsty, bowel movements once every few days or once a day, and dry and granular stools. Treatment should be based on clearing heat and nourishing Yin to eliminate internal heat. The author often uses Ophiopogon japonicus, Adenophora radix, Radix Rehmanniae, Rehmannia glutinosa, Morus alba and other medicines for treatment. If the amount of sweating is high, add dragon bone, oyster, and raw Astragalus membranaceus, and the sweat can be quickly eliminated.
