Baby has a cold and keeps sweating on his head

In life, it is very common for babies to catch colds. Because babies are small and weak, they are easily invaded by cold viruses. Babies with colds are particularly prone to fever. If babies have a low fever for a long time, they will sweat on their foreheads. Many mothers will think that the baby is very hot when they wipe the sweat off their babies, so they will take off their clothes. So what should you do if your baby keeps sweating on his head when he catches a cold?

It is normal for children to sweat while sleeping, because children's sweat glands are more developed. The secretion of sweat glands is controlled by the autonomic nervous system (vagus nerve). After falling asleep, the vagus nerve is excited, causing excessive sweating, usually more on the head and face, but it will subside within one or two hours after falling asleep. If you keep sweating after sleeping and the amount is quite heavy, it may be autonomic nervous system dysfunction, which may be partly caused by calcium deficiency. |||Colds are caused by viruses. As the viruses invade the human body, the immune system starts working, which naturally causes the body temperature to rise. The normal body temperature of the human body is 36.5~37°C. If it is too high, it will inactivate enzymes in the body. Therefore, in order to lower the body temperature, the body chooses to sweat to take away the body heat. Fever and sweating are normal when you have a cold. If the temperature reaches 38°C, give certain antipyretic drugs. Let your child sweat under the quilt and he will get better faster. |||Hello, excessive sweating after a cold is a sign of the recovery period of the cold, and it is not yet completely healed. Because diaphoretic drugs are often used after a cold, excessive sweating will lead to weakness, and weakness can also lead to excessive sweating. It is recommended that you keep warm during this period, avoid getting cold, and take a rest to avoid getting a cold again. You will be fine once you have fully recovered.

The main consideration is that the child has a cold, which is the cause of the current symptoms, and is accompanied by calcium deficiency and qi deficiency. For such problems, it is better to actively give the child calcium supplements and anti-cold treatments, pay attention to increasing the nutrition of the child's diet, and continue to pay attention to regular check-ups.

In this case, we still need to consider the fever and gastroenteritis caused by the child's cold, and also the calcium deficiency. You can take your child's temperature to see if it is high. If it is particularly high, it is recommended that you go to the pediatric department of the hospital, check the blood routine and C-reactive protein, and give some antibiotics for treatment. Hope this helps and wish you a speedy recovery
