A baby's body is a very sensitive small machine, and many babies will sweat profusely once they move more. It's okay to say that the head is the easiest place to sweat. Many parents always think that their baby's sweaty head is due to physical weakness. So, what's the reason why babies always sweat on their heads?
1. Physiological sweating. Children sweat because their nervous system is not yet fully developed, and their metabolism is very active. Therefore, they are prone to sweating excessively, which belongs to physiological sweating. Especially in summer, when children are more active or wear more clothes, physiological sweating is more likely to occur.
Physiological sweating refers to the phenomenon where a child is normal without any illness, but simply loves to sweat. Physiological hyperhidrosis mainly occurs in the head and neck, often appearing within half an hour after the baby falls asleep, and no longer sweating after an hour. If the baby has no adverse symptoms, this is often a sign of physical weakness and does not require treatment.
2. Pathological sweating. If children experience night sweats at night, which can wet bed sheets or blankets, and are prone to catching a cold and getting sick, this may be an early symptom of rickets, which is a pathological sweating caused by calcium deficiency in babies. Moreover, the occurrence of tuberculosis, anemia, rheumatism, etc. in babies can lead to excessive sweating, so excessive sweating cannot be ignored. It is best to seek medical treatment with the baby in a timely manner.
