I believe that many parents find that their children sweat especially much when they are young, often the child moves a little, sometimes quietly sweating head, and even sweat wet clothes, what is the reason for the correction? Is it caused by calcium deficiency as we all think?
The answer is certainly no, sweating can be caused by more than just calcium deficiency.
We generally recommend that children between the ages of two weeks and two years supplement vitamin D, because children before the age of two years have a short time for outdoor activities, their own synthesis of vitamin D is relatively insufficient, after adding supplementation, can ensure the normal absorption of calcium and phosphorus to maintain the normal development of bones, when not supplemented or inadequate supplementation, children may appear easy to panic, sweating, occipital baldness, funnel chest, chicken chest, rib diaphragm groove, square skull and other rickets Performance, but seldom manifested as sweating more alone, so when children sweat more, we can not only consider the possibility of calcium deficiency, there are some other conditions, which also need to be considered.
One, physiological reasons: children are in the growth and development period, metabolism is strong, more heat production, on the one hand, the basic body temperature will be higher than admitted, natural sweating will be more, if the child is only after activity or after meals, or hot weather sweating more, may just be the physiological peculiarities of children decided, do not need special treatment, sweating, wipe clean in time to avoid sweat evaporation, resulting in children’s body temperature too low or The external wind chill.
The Chinese medicine talks about “Wei Qi is not solid, Qi is not solid sweat”, referring to “Qi deficiency, table Qi is not solid, spontaneous sweating”, if the child has a thin white tongue, light tongue, often tired and weak, often cold, dripping sweat, etc., it is likely to be Qi deficiency, need to supplement the Qi and solid table If the child has a weak tongue, he or she is often tired and tired, often has colds and sweats, etc., it is likely that the child has a deficiency of qi and needs to tonify the qi and fix the surface.
The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a lot of money for the actual money. For hyperthyroidism, in addition to excessive sweating, the child may have a strong appetite, lose weight, be excited and easily irritated, and have an increased heart rate. In tuberculosis infection, children often show night sweats, low fever in the afternoon, weakness, and poor appetite. In pheochromocytoma, excessive sweating, pallor, and rapid increase in blood pressure may occur when there is excessive secretion of pulse-like catecholamines in the body.
Therefore, excessive sweating in children is also to be viewed dialectically and is not always caused by calcium deficiency.
