You should be aware of the possibility of rickets, or what we usually call “calcium deficiency”, and if it is accompanied by low fever, loss of appetite and weight loss, you should be aware of the possibility of tuberculosis, and in children over 10 years old, excessive sweating accompanied by weight loss, fear of heat, hyperphagia and shaking hands, you should be aware of the possibility of hyperthyroidism, and if you find excessive sweating on one side of the child’s body, you should be aware of the possibility of brain lesions. Physiological hyperhidrosis is nothing to worry about, it is only related to the sympathetic nerves of children are more excited, just pay attention to sleep well covered, do not get cold and cold. In reality, pathological hyperhidrosis is rare, and most parents are faced with physiological hyperhidrosis, some children are prone to hyperhidrosis at a certain stage, and more children have hyperhidrosis after a cold and fever has subsided. First of all, let’s talk about the understanding of “sweat” in Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine believes that sweat is one of the five fluids (sweat, snot, tears, saliva, saliva), which is a fluid, not a waste material produced by the body’s metabolism. Generally speaking, the body’s fluid out of the coup (skin, muscle texture), is called sweat. The main function of the fluid is to moisten and nourish, such as moistening the superficial skin and muscles, nourishing the deeper organs, nourishing the bone marrow and brain marrow, lubricating the eyes, nose, mouth, etc. The sweat comes from the fluids, so the Suwen commentary on fever says: “sweat is also essence” This is not too much, sweating, in fact, is a way for the body to adjust the balance of yin and yang, excessive sweating is damaging to the human body, on the one hand, children sweat a lot will cause Yang Qi out, fluid depletion, resulting in skin coup On the other hand, the Nei Jing says that sweat is the liquid of the heart (Suwen Xuanming Wu Qi Lun), and excessive sweating is accompanied by a weakened heart and mind, and many children who sweat a lot may not sleep too deeply, easily waking up and dreaming. Many children who sweat a lot may not sleep very deeply, wake up easily, dream a lot, and are usually a little less bold. So, how can we not sweat so much? We must first know the mechanism of excessive sweating, Chinese medicine books and textbooks will be written in a more complex analysis of many reasons, such as table deficiency is not solid, Ying and Wei is not in harmony, Qi and Yin two deficiencies, ah, to summarize it simply, we are running in the body, the Chinese medicine theory of “qi”, qi is invisible The direction of movement of Qi can be upward and outward, or downward and inward, and the distribution and flow of fluids is also related to the flow of Qi. As we said earlier, many children recovering from illnesses are prone to excessive sweating, which is often due to the depletion of the disease itself, or the abuse of antibiotics, bitter cold and heat-clearing drugs, which damage the spleen and stomach, and after the deficiency of qi, they do not have the power to control the excretion of sweat, plus the skin couples are relaxed after the disease, so they are more likely to sweat. The actual problem is that the spleen and stomach should be toned, moistened and nourished, nourished and nourished, the Chinese medicine can be used for food therapy I recommend yam, softer, not easy to nourish the fire, appropriate with a little yam, moisten at the same time can also nourish the stomach, coupled with the astragalus porridge, tempered for a period of time, even without the astringent medicine, slowly sweat will be less The children in the process of growth and development, is the ascending Qi, a little collection can be, can not collect too violent. In addition, for those children whose heart and mind are obviously depleted, you can add sour date seeds to nourish the heart and mind and improve sleep. The actual evidence is usually seen in children who are usually too well nourished, i.e. the accumulation of food is heavy, resulting in internal blockage of damp heat, as if there is a small steamer inside the body, which steams the sweat. The body inside, the sweat are steamed out, generally will have obesity, bad breath, sour stools, thick and greasy tongue coating these manifestations, this child should pay attention to the elimination of food to guide stagnation, the inside of the real heat away. In summary, excessive sweating in children, especially spontaneous sweating and night sweating during the recovery period, needs to be taken seriously and can be regulated by Chinese medicine if necessary, which is very important for the recovery of the disease and prevention of reinfection.
