Why do children sweat a lot when they are afraid of heat?

A child's body is very delicate and cannot tolerate any harm. Because a child's body is still in the development stage, the metabolism of various tissues is very fast. Therefore, it looks very delicate. Physical problems are also common in children. Among them, abnormal body temperature has the greatest impact, with fever being the most common. Let’s take a look at why children are afraid of heat and sweat a lot.

Any causes and diseases that affect the body's temperature regulation center and increase the excitability of the sympathetic nerves can cause night sweats in children. As parents, we should observe our children carefully and make a judgment after comprehensive analysis. We should not give medicines blindly to avoid adverse consequences.

You can check your baby's trace elements to see if he is deficient in calcium and give him supplements. Because babies are in the growth and development stage, their physiological metabolism is vigorous and their nervous system regulation function is not very sound, so they sweat a lot, which is medically called physiological hyperhidrosis. Babies with this kind of physiological hyperhidrosis will sweat more obviously in the following situations, such as in summer, when the baby wears too many or too tight clothes, when the baby is active, when eating hot food, or when the baby is nervous or scared.

If the baby has no other abnormal symptoms, that is, it is physiological hyperhidrosis. Such babies sweat a lot, not because of physical weakness. Parents do not need to worry and no special medication is needed.

Children are afraid of heat and sweat a lot. Reasons:

1. Calcium deficiency and decreased blood calcium levels will increase the excitability of the brain and autonomic nerves, leading to excessive sweating on the head and neck and baldness on the back of the head. Babies should be supplemented with calcium and vitamin D and get more sun exposure. If you get diarrhea after taking cod liver oil, you can use vitamin D3 injection instead.

2. There are many diseases that cause excessive sweating in children, such as active rheumatism, rheumatoid arthritis, active rickets, active tuberculosis, hyperthyroidism, typhoid fever, lobar pneumonia, etc.

3. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that spontaneous sweating is caused by deficiency of both heart and kidney. Imbalance of yin and yang in the human body can cause excessive sweating. Deficiency of qi and blood after illness can also lead to excessive sweating. You can ask a traditional Chinese medicine doctor to diagnose and treat you.
