My son is half a year old now. I always take him by myself. My parents are all in the countryside and no one helps me. Now I find that my baby is always sweating, especially at night. Is it calcium deficiency. So, what is the cause of children sweating? Now let me tell you about my experience.

What's the reason for children's sweating

One of the reasons: sweating is a normal physiological phenomenon of the human body. Due to the rapid growth and development of children, their metabolism is more vigorous than that of adults, and they produce more heat and metabolites. At the same time, children's autonomic nerve development is not perfect, in sleep, the sympathetic nerve in charge of sweat glands will lose the control of the brain and temporarily excited, appear sweating phenomenon, this is completely normal.

The second reason: sweating is a very normal phenomenon when children sleep, because the sweat glands of children are more developed, and the secretion of sweat glands is controlled by the autonomic nerve. After sleeping, the vagus nerve is excited, leading to more sweating, generally in the head and face, but it will be relieved within one or two hours after sleeping. If sweating after sleeping, and the amount is relatively large, it may be a functional disorder of autonomic nerve, part of the brain The score may be caused by calcium deficiency.

The third reason: pathological sweating is in children's quiet state, such as rickets sweating, performance for the first half of the night after sleep, children's head obvious sweating. Because the pillow is stimulated by sweat, the baby often shakes his head and rubs the pillow when sleeping. As a result, the occipital hair is sparse and falls off, forming a typical occipital ring alopecia, which is called "pillow baldness" in medicine. It is an early manifestation of infantile rickets. As long as vitamin D and calcium are supplemented in time, rickets can be controlled, and sweating will stop itself.

matters needing attention
