The child sweats a lot

Children's physical health can be easily affected by a variety of adverse factors, causing great damage to their growth and development. For example, most children tend to sweat a lot in their daily lives. Frequent sweating has a great impact on body temperature, especially in winter when sweating can easily cause fever and colds due to the cold air. Therefore, the problem of children sweating too much must be solved in time. Let’s take a look at what to do if your child sweats too much?

If a mother finds that her baby is sweating a lot, she should first look for the cause of the sweating. If it is physiological excessive sweating, the mother does not need to worry too much. Just eliminate the external factors that cause the baby's excessive sweating. In hot summer, you need to open the windows frequently and use electric fans or air conditioners if possible. Be careful not to let the wind blow directly on the baby, especially when the baby is asleep, because the pores of the skin are open and there is sweat on the body, and the baby may catch a cold easily if blown directly by the wind.

Pay attention to your baby's clothing and blanket. We recommend that babies wear one more piece of clothing than adults so as to train their resistance from an early age. Some mothers feel that their children's hands are cold in winter, so they try to add more clothes for their children. They wear several sweaters, cotton jackets and cotton pants, and cover their children with several quilts at night. You should know that if you dress or cover your baby too much, the baby will sweat a lot and his clothes will get wet with sweat. If you don't change them in time, the baby will use his body temperature to dry the wet clothes, which will make him catch cold easily and cause cold, fever and cough. Babies who sweat excessively may become dehydrated due to excessive water loss in their bodies.

Parents need to replenish their babies with water in time, and it is best to feed them light salt water, because babies sweat just like adults. In addition to losing water, they also lose a certain amount of electrolytes such as sodium, chloride, and potassium. Feeding your baby with light salt water can replenish water and salts such as sodium and chloride, maintain the electrolyte balance in the body, and avoid dehydration and collapse.

Parents should dry their sweating babies promptly. Families that have the conditions should give their babies a sponge bath or a bath, and change their underwear in time. The baby's skin is delicate. Excessive sweat accumulates in skin folds such as the neck, armpits, groin, etc., which can cause skin ulcers and cause skin infections.

If the baby is found to be sweating excessively, the mother should carefully observe whether there are other complications and go to the hospital in time to treat the disease causing the sweating. If infants and young children have active rickets and sweat a lot, they can go to the hospital for treatment, take cod liver oil and calcium powder orally, and do more outdoor activities such as sunbathing. If you find your child suddenly sweating profusely in the early morning of summer, but without fever, and with pale complexion, listlessness, and cold limbs, you should consider the possibility of hypoglycemia. First feed him sugar water at home, and then take him to the hospital immediately for further diagnosis and treatment.
