What to do if your child's head sweats

The healthy growth of children is of greatest concern to parents. Even sweating makes parents very concerned, especially for some children who sweat frequently on their heads. Parents are very panicked by the abnormal situation in their children. Therefore, parents are very eager to solve the problem of their children's sweating. So, what should we do if our child has sweating on his head? Let’s take a look at how to solve the problem of children sweating.

Sweating is a kind of nerve reflex in the body. Because babies are in the stage of growth and development, their physiological metabolism is vigorous and the regulatory function of the nervous system is not very sound, so they sweat a lot. This 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 your 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.

Countermeasures: Parents need to take good care of babies who sweat a lot, including:

(1) Babies should drink more water;

(2) Cultivate the baby's ability to adapt to the environment in life, such as wearing loose clothes and not using too thick bedding;

(3) Change your baby's clothes frequently, bathe him/her more often, and ensure that his/her skin is clean;

(4) Pay attention to education and do not spoil the baby. This is not only beneficial to the baby's mental development, but also can accelerate the improvement of the baby's nervous system regulatory function.

In addition, babies who sweat excessively for a long time will lose zinc in their sweat, so they need to consciously increase the intake of zinc-rich foods, such as eggs, meat, liver, beans and peanuts, to meet the zinc needs for their growth and development. If your baby shows symptoms such as anorexia, slow weight and height gain, you should see a doctor and use zinc-containing drugs under the doctor's guidance. Generally, zinc gluconate has fewer side effects and is easier for babies to accept. Note that calcium supplements will prevent the absorption of zinc in the intestines; many babies take various calcium supplements preventively, and zinc supplements should be avoided at the same time as calcium supplements.

The above is an introduction to the solution to children’s sweating on the head. I hope it will be helpful to everyone’s understanding. Children are young and abnormal conditions may easily occur. Parents should pay attention to caring for their children. For example, if a child sweats easily, the cause must be found and actively treated to avoid causing more serious harm to the child.
