What causes children to sweat easily
1. Physiological reasons
It is common for children to sweat easily. Due to their rapid growth and development, vigorous metabolism, and higher production of heat and waste in the body compared to adults, as well as the limited excretion function of the kidneys in children, sweating has become an important pathway for the excretion and dissipation of body heat.
Generally, the younger the age, the more sweat there will be. This physiological phenomenon of excessive sweating will gradually improve as the child grows older and generally does not require special treatment.
2. Caused by calcium deficiency
If a child tends to sweat easily when sleeping at night, it may also be due to calcium deficiency. Because calcium participates in the activity of nerves and muscles, regulating the excitation of nerves and muscles and inhibiting the transmission of nerve impulses, it has a sedative effect. If a child lacks calcium, the neural excitation increases, manifested as crying, night sweats, occipital baldness, and craniofacial abnormalities.
3. Caused by weak physical constitution
Children with weak physical constitution often sweat in patches on their head, chest, and back during daytime activities or after falling asleep at night. Often caused by picky eating or poor digestion and absorption, malnutrition occurs.
Children who are prone to sweating must pay attention to whether it is caused by a disease. After ruling out the disease, parents and friends can rest assured. Through reasonable arrangements in daily life and dietary care, children who love to sweat can generally improve quickly. In addition, babies who love to sweat should pay special attention to keeping dry in order to effectively prevent colds.
