What to do if your child sweats easily

The problem of our children sweating easily is of great concern to us because it is caused by many reasons. We often find some children having this problem. So what should we do when children sweat easily? What should we know about children who sweat easily? Let’s take a look together below.

Spontaneous sweating refers to the spontaneous sweating caused by the slightest movement during the day or night without the use of sweating drugs or due to other stimuli such as hot weather, thick clothes, intense activities, etc. Such children are mostly caused by weak Yang Qi and fluid leakage. However, most children should be active, excited and lively, with normal or excessive diet. They are particularly prone to sweating when they are active and playing excitedly. These children may sweat more, but when the cause of sweating stops, the sweating also stops. Such children are very normal and healthy.

If the cause of sweating stops, or there is no reason for sweating, or the sweating does not stop due to some disease, then it should be considered as diseased spontaneous sweating.

Night sweats are also called "sweating during sleep", which means sweating during sleep and stopping 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, the head, chest, back and other parts sweat a lot, often soaking the pillow, pajamas, etc. This is because the child's body temperature rises just after falling 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 mostly have night sweats in March, April or November. However, they have a common feature, that is, night sweats only occur before 12 o'clock at night (that is, the first half of the night), and the sweat will automatically disappear in the second half of the night. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that children have strong yang energy, and the yin energy has not yet reached its peak in the first half of the night, so they will sweat in the first half of the night. In the second half of the night, the yin energy gradually becomes strong 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yang energy in the child's body from escaping, so in the second half of the night, the child's sweat will naturally be withdrawn. Generally speaking, parents should not be afraid, and if you are worried, take your child to the hospital for a check-up.

The above is our explanation for why children are prone to sweating. We must be prepared for the problem of excessive sweating in children. We hope that the above suggestions can help you, and we also hope that every child can grow up healthy. A warm reminder: if your child has a problem, you must receive timely treatment.
