What is the reason for the child's

Children are weak, their immune systems are not as strong as those of adults, and everything is still in the development and growth stage. Sometimes it is normal for children to have different physical reactions from adults, but sometimes it means that there is something abnormal. As parents, we should know some basic knowledge about children's bodies. You can only respond correctly when you encounter unfamiliar physiological reactions. So, why do children sweat a lot?

It is normal for children to sweat because their sweat glands are more developed and it is related to their rapid growth and development. 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 more on the head and face, but it will subside within one or two hours after falling asleep. This does not require treatment.

If you keep sweating after sleeping and the amount is quite heavy, it may be caused by calcium deficiency, so it is best to check whether it is calcium deficiency. This requires calcium and vitamin D supplementation. Need more sun. This is the safest way. At least 2 hours of sunlight exposure per day can meet the physiological needs of vitamin D production.

Note that this will only be effective if the light is transmitted through no glass. This is the best way to supplement vitamin D without side effects. Vitamin D supplementation can promote calcium absorption.

For babies with physiological hyperhidrosis, 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 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.
