Dampness in the palms and feet of infants is usually caused by overdressing, deficiency of Yin and internal heat, and weakness of the spleen and stomach.
1. Overdressing: If the temperature of the indoor environment in which the baby is located is too high, or if the baby is overdressed and covered with too thick a blanket, it is easy to cause a lot of sweating, which will lead to the emergence of the baby’s wet palms and feet.
2. Yin deficiency and internal heat constitution: Because the baby belongs to the Yin deficiency and internal heat constitution, the body fluid, essence and blood deficiency, Yin does not control Yang, resulting in excessive Yang heat, often appearing in the five heart heat (two hearts and two feet heart heat, and consciously heart and chest heat), dry mouth and throat, hot flashes of night sweating (after going to sleep sweating abnormally, waking up sweating to stop) and other symptoms, so there are infants with wet palms and feet.
3. Weakness of the spleen and stomach: due to the weakness of the spleen and stomach, the spleen is not healthy (dysfunction of the spleen’s transport function), the function of transporting and transforming water and dampness and transporting and transforming water and grains and essence decreases, and the water and dampness cannot be metabolized normally, so there is also the case of dampness in the palm of the hand and the heart of the foot of the baby.
If wet palms and feet occur frequently, it is recommended to bring your baby to the doctor for treatment.
