People tend to sweat, especially in hot weather where a little activity can cause a lot of sweating. Some parents have noticed that their children have a sour taste after sweating, so they are very worried that it is abnormal and afraid that it is due to the child's illness causing adverse symptoms. So, why is the baby's sweat sour?
It is quite normal for a baby's sweat to have a sour taste. Because sweat contains not only water, but also many inorganic salts and other trace elements, it is very easy to breed bacteria, and the sour taste is emitted by its metabolites. Usually, there is no sour taste at the beginning of sweating, but after a period of time, metabolites appear before there is a sour taste.
The development of a baby's brain and nervous system is not very complete, but the child is in a period of growth and development, with well-developed sweat glands and a very vigorous metabolism. When subjected to thermal stimulation, the body will sweat heavily, which can balance the temperature inside and outside the body and promote metabolism.
In summer, parents should regularly give their children a bath to prevent bacteria from growing on the surface of their skin. Especially after sweating, taking a shower in a timely manner can prevent sourness from appearing on the body. Moreover, during hot weather, it is important to pay attention to the child's physical activity level and prevent them from constantly running around, which can reduce sweating.
