Introduce several situations of baby sweating

The baby's health is the biggest concern of the family, because this little guy is particularly prone to illness and is particularly fragile. He must be carefully cared for like a flower. Babies tend to sweat when they sleep, and they may get sick if they do not stop sweating in time. So, parents, do you know why babies sweat? Only by knowing why can we know what to do.

1. It is normal for babies to sweat while sleeping

Children are naturally active and energetic. No matter they are babies in swaddling clothes or children running around on the floor, as long as they are not sleeping, they basically will not be idle. Babies who can't walk like to stretch out their hands and feet, roll over and over, and even twist their bodies when held in their mother's arms; children who can walk and run like to run around, climb up and down, or rummage through drawers.

This amount of exercise causes the body to generate a lot of heat. Once the baby begins to fall asleep, all systems in the body come to rest, but the heat accumulated in the body has not yet dissipated. At this time, the excess heat will be dissipated in the form of sweating. Most babies who sweat while sleeping belong to this situation. They sweat profusely 1 to 2 hours after falling asleep, but after the sweating is over, they basically stop sweating during the rest of their sleep.

2. Abnormal baby sweating while sleeping

But there are some situations that cause babies to sweat while sleeping, which may be abnormal.

1. Excessive sweating due to rickets

Among the causes of pathological hyperhidrosis in children, the most common is rickets. In this case, in addition to excessive sweating, the child also has symptoms such as irritability, crying, temper tantrum, restless sleep, easy awakening, and no hair growing on the back of the head (medically known as occipital baldness). This is the result of sweating and itching on the head, and the child's head constantly turning, which causes the hair to fall off. Children with rickets have a square skull, a protruding forehead, a large fontanelle that closes late, and delayed tooth eruption. 2. Excessive sweating due to tuberculosis

Tuberculosis in children is another cause of pathological hyperhidrosis. Tuberculosis in children causes excessive sweating, which is characterized by sweating not only when falling asleep, but also in the second half of the night before dawn. The children may also experience emaciation, lack of weight gain, loss of appetite, long and curly eyelashes, and low fever. If childhood tuberculosis is diagnosed and treated early, it can be completely cured; but if it is discovered too late and treatment is delayed, treatment will become very difficult and may even develop into tuberculous pleurisy, pericarditis, etc.

Do you understand clearly why your baby sweats too much? You must have a full understanding to help your baby get rid of painful diseases. Sometimes their sweating is nothing, and sometimes it is indeed a problem. Observe your baby carefully. Being a parent is not easy. I hope you and your baby can be healthy and pain-free.
