The highest temperature in Guangdong is now 30 degrees. How is it that children sweat too easily?

Some children often sweat when they sleep, and sweat soaks clothes and pillow towels. This phenomenon is called night sweats in Chinese medicine. Many parents are worried about this. Although they seek medical treatment everywhere, they still have little effect. In fact, children's night sweats are not necessarily pathological, but mostly physiological. Because children's skin is rich in water, capillaries are abundant, metabolism is vigorous, autonomic nerve regulation function is not perfect, and they are prone to sweating during activities. If the child exercises too much before going to bed, it can increase the body's heat production, or shortly after eating, gastrointestinal peristalsis increases, gastric juice secretion increases, and sweat gland secretion also increases. These will cause children to sweat more after sleep, especially within 2 hours after sweating.

Pathological night sweats are more common in rickets, mainly in children under 3 years old, mainly manifested as sweating in the middle of the night, which is caused by low blood calcium. Night sweats in children with pulmonary tuberculosis are characterized by sweating all night. At the same time, the child also has symptoms such as low fever and emaciation, weight loss, loss of appetite and emotional changes.

Once a child is found to have night sweats, first of all, find out the cause in time and give appropriate treatment. Generally speaking, it is not advocated to treat physiological night sweats with drugs, but to adjust the law of life and eliminate the inducement of fever in life. For example, appropriately limit children's activities before going to bed, especially strenuous activities; It is not advisable to eat too much before going to bed, and it is not advisable to give a lot of hot food and hot drinks before going to bed; Sleeping means that the temperature in the bedroom should not be too high, let alone wearing thick clothes to sleep; The quilt to be covered should increase or decrease with the change of temperature.

Children with pathological night sweats should be treated according to the cause. If night sweats are caused by calcium deficiency, calcium and vitamin D should be supplemented appropriately. Night sweats caused by tuberculosis should be treated with anti-tuberculosis. After night sweats, children should dry their skin with a towel, change clothes frequently and take a bath frequently. Let children often participate in outdoor sports, enhance their physical fitness and improve their adaptability. Night sweats will stop when their physical fitness is enhanced.

There are many reasons why children sweat when they sleep, both physiological and pathological.

Physiological hyperhidrosis is caused by hot weather, high room temperature, too many clothes or too thick quilts. Some parents like to feed their children a bottle of milk when they are going to bed. After feeding, the child falls asleep quietly, but at this time he is in the stage of heat production after feeding, so he often sweats. This kind of sweating is caused by the body's regulation of body temperature. It often sweats more when you fall asleep, and then gradually decreases. Because of the vigorous metabolism in childhood, high skin moisture content, many microvessels, immature autonomic nerve development, sweating is completely normal.

Pathological hyperhidrosis occurs throughout sleep. Children with rickets begin to sweat after falling asleep, especially on the head, which can soak the pillow mat or pillow towel, accompanied by baldness and crying. Children with active tuberculosis often sweat not only in the middle of the night, but also before midnight and dawn, which is called night sweats. At the same time, children may be accompanied by low fever, cough, emaciation, weakness, flushing and other symptoms. Therefore, if a healthy and active child sweats a lot when sleeping, it may be normal, and parents need not worry too much.

What happened to love sweating while the child was sleeping?

Children sweating while sleeping is a problem that almost every parent will encounter, and some parents are worried about it. The first thing that comes to mind is whether the child is calcium deficient. Is the child weak?

In fact, sweating is a normal physiological phenomenon of human body. Sweat can take away excess calories and some metabolites, such as uric acid and fatty acids. Because of the rapid growth and development of children, their metabolism is more vigorous than that of adults, and they produce more calories and metabolites. At the same time, the child's autonomic nerves are not well developed. When they fall asleep, the sympathetic nerve responsible for sweat glands will be excited for a while because of losing control of the brain, which is completely normal. As long as the child has no other symptoms, such as irritability, crying, easy to wake up, etc. Leave him alone. Such sweating is often found within half an hour after sleeping, and mainly occurs on the forehead. It usually stops slowly within 2 hours after falling asleep, which is more common in children aged 3-7, and gradually disappears with age. Some people call it physiological hyperhidrosis.

However, if the child is weak at ordinary times, sweats at night, likes to pour water, even sweats all night, soaks pillows and wet clothes, and is accompanied by symptoms such as irritability, crying and emaciation, it belongs to pathological hyperhidrosis. The common cause is vitamin D deficiency rickets. In addition to sweating at night, it is accompanied by restlessness, restless sleep, easy to wake up, square skull, baldness and chicken breasts. If you have the above symptoms, you can supplement vitamin D and calcium under the guidance of a doctor. When eating, you should also pay attention to eating foods rich in calcium, such as fish and shrimp skin. Hyperhidrosis can be quickly corrected by active treatment.

If children often sweat before dawn, accompanied by pale face and weak and fast pulse, there is the possibility of hypoglycemia. At this time, you can give your child some sugar water or eat some cake to correct it.

For physiological hyperhidrosis, self-made floating wheat glutinous rice porridge can effectively stop sweating. That is, take 50 grams of glutinous rice and 50 grams of floating wheat every day, add appropriate amount of water, cook porridge with slow fire and drink frequently. Or use Astragalus membranaceus 15g, 20 jujubes, add appropriate amount of water, cook soup with slow fire, and eat jujube with soup, daily 1 dose.

In addition, children suffering from tuberculosis, anemia, rheumatism and rheumatoid diseases can also cause hyperhidrosis. Therefore, when children are sweating, they should go to the hospital as soon as possible to eliminate hyperhidrosis caused by certain diseases.

have night sweat

Children belong to the body of pure yang, with delicate constitution and weak muscles and skin, and are particularly prone to sweating compared with adults. It is normal for children to sweat only a little. On the other hand, if the child does not sweat at all, it is necessary to consider that there is a problem with perspiration. If he sweats too much and has other symptoms, he should consider whether he is ill. Hyperhidrosis in children can be manifested as hand and foot sweat, chest sweat, half-length sweat, spontaneous sweat, night sweat and so on.

Spontaneous sweating refers to people who sweat naturally after a little activity day and night without using antiperspirant or excluding other stimulating factors such as hot climate, heavy clothes and strenuous activity. Most of these children have weak yang and diarrhea.

Night sweats, also known as "sleeping sweats", sweat when sleeping and stop after waking up. Children's night sweats are mostly caused by yin deficiency and heat disturbance, and heart fluid cannot be collected. When sweating, we should pay attention to whether the child is listless, fatigued, pale, love sweating during activities, prone to colds, and has a low voice. Such children should pay attention to taboos, and don't eat cold food and hard and indigestible food at ordinary times. Instead, we should eat more foods with the function of strengthening the spleen, such as japonica rice, coix seed, yam, lentils, lotus seeds, jujube and so on. It can not only strengthen the spleen and replenish qi, but also harmonize the stomach and can be eaten with porridge.

Night sweats, children sweat when they sleep, stop sweating when they wake up, lose weight, dry skin, red cheeks, fever in hands and feet, dry stool, yellow urine, irritability, etc. These are all manifestations of yin deficiency. Avoid frying, frying, baking, smoking, greasy and spicy food. You should eat more foods that nourish yin and promote fluid production, such as millet, wheat flour, miscellaneous grains and bean products, milk, eggs, lean meat and fish. We should also eat more fruits and vegetables, especially apples, sugar cane, bananas, grapes, hawthorn, watermelon and other fruits with high vitamin content.

When nursing sweaty children, you should pay attention to changing clothes and quilts frequently, and wipe your body with a soft cloth at any time, or apply talcum powder externally to keep your skin dry. Avoid direct blowing when you have sweat to avoid catching a cold. Hyperhidrosis can easily lead to yin loss of body fluid and yang damage, so it is necessary to replenish water to children and avoid spicy powder in diet to prevent damage to vitality, especially sweating.
