Which department should I go to if my child sweats too much?

Children are lively and active and sweat easily. This is a normal phenomenon and not a bad thing for children. However, some children will also show symptoms of excessive sweating when they are sick. In severe cases, it may cause children to suffer from various major diseases. Therefore, children with excessive sweating should be treated differently. Let’s take a look at which department is better for children with excessive sweating? I hope everyone can understand it.

You can go directly to the Department of Pediatrics to register. If a child sweats a lot, it is generally considered to be caused by calcium deficiency. It is recommended that the child be given cod liver oil and calcium gluconate oral solution. Also, the child should pay attention to drinking more water, getting more sun, and eating nutritious food. If sweating occurs, the sweaty clothes should be changed in time.

Because children's brain and nervous system are not yet fully developed and they are in the growth and development period, their body metabolism is very active. Coupled with the stimulation of overheating, they can only regulate normal body temperature by sweating to evaporate the heat in the body.

It is normal for children to sweat because their sweat glands are more developed. The secretion of sweat glands is controlled by the autonomic nervous system (vagus nerve). After falling asleep, the vagus nerve becomes excited, causing excessive sweating, usually on the head and face. However, the sweating will subside within one or two hours after falling asleep. If you keep sweating after sleeping, and the amount is quite heavy, it may be autonomic nervous system dysfunction, which may be partly caused by calcium deficiency. In addition, children love to be active, and they are prone to sweating due to high levels of activity.

Regarding the reasons why children sweat a lot when sleeping, the most common reason is generally calcium deficiency, which is actually vitamin D deficiency. However, it is also necessary to check the specific situation to see if there is any infection or other problems. It is recommended to have a throat examination to see if there is pharyngitis or tonsillitis. Pay attention to whether there is enlarged adenoids and tonsils. Then it is necessary to conduct blood routine test, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, chest X-ray and other examinations. After finding out the specific cause, targeted treatment will be carried out.
