Physiological sweating vs pathological sweating what's your baby like?
There are a lot of sweating phenomenon of the baby's mothers, first of all, to find out whether their baby is physiological sweating or pathological sweating.
The so-called physiological polyhidrosis refers to the baby's good development, physical health, no disease caused by sleep sweating. Physiological sweating is often caused by children's large amount of exercise, rapid metabolism, more heat production, and relatively imperfect neural regulation system. Only through sweating, to evaporate the heat in the body, to regulate the normal body temperature. The resolution method is very simple. Mothers should observe carefully. If the baby sweats all over his head as soon as he falls asleep, but it only occurs within the first hour of falling asleep. In the second half of the night, he seldom sweats. This kind of situation belongs to normal physiological phenomenon, so we don't need to worry too much.
Pathological sweating is completely different, it is in the baby's quiet state of the phenomenon. Pathological sweating is mainly caused by the following three conditions:
1) after some babies fall asleep, they sweat more than midnight, which is often caused by low blood calcium. Low calcium tends to increase sympathetic excitability, such as turning on the 'faucet' of sweat glands, which is especially common in children with rickets. Rickets is a disease of bone growth and development disorder due to the lack of vitamin D, which affects the absorption of calcium and phosphorus. In addition to skeletal problems and hyperhidrosis, rickets is often accompanied by some other more obvious symptoms, such as' alopecia occipitalis' - because the occipital part is stimulated by sweat, the baby often shakes his head and rubs against the pillow when sleeping, resulting in sparse and falling off of the occipital hair, forming a typical circular occipital hair loss. Baomums need to observe carefully to determine whether the baby has the above conditions.

2) if the baby is not only sweating in the first half of the night, but also sweating in the second half of the night and before dawn, most of them are physical manifestations of diseases, the most common one is tuberculosis. There are other manifestations of tuberculosis, such as low fever and emaciation, fatigue and weakness, loss of appetite, flush cheeks and so on. Children with tuberculosis are prone to sweating in the daytime and night. In addition, heart disease, diabetes (hypoglycemia), etc., will also make the baby because of the internal pressure of the body, the sympathetic nerve is always in a state of tension, there is a 'night sleep night sweat' or 'cold sweat' phenomenon. If Baoma suspects that sweating is such a cause, she should take her baby to a pediatric clinic or hospital in time.
3) there is also a kind of sweaty baby with weak constitution and weak immunity, that is to say, the "deficiency and unsteadiness on the surface" in traditional Chinese medicine. These babies tend to be particularly sweaty on the head and shoulders, with pale face and cold hands and feet.
Sweating is harmful to baby's health
'sweat is the liquid of the heart'. Modern medical research shows that excessive perspiration will lead to the loss of essential trace elements in the body, electrolyte imbalance, and affect the healthy growth of the baby. Sweating too much baby, some will appear pale, cry at night, dry stool, loss of appetite, poor spirit, sleep and other symptoms. Serious will also lead to memory decline, mental retardation, easy to catch cold and other problems, affecting the growth and development of the baby. So, moms should never look down on baby's sweating.. (this article is edited and collated by sihai.com, reprinted and noted with source, original link: http://www.4hw.com.cn/life/)
How to deal with baby sweating?
For the baby physiological hyperhidrosis generally do not advocate drug treatment, but take corresponding measures to eliminate the factors leading to high fever in life. For example, the amount of activity and food consumption should be controlled to prevent the baby from sweating at night due to excessive activity or full of high calorie food; the bedroom temperature should be controlled at 24 ℃ ~ 28 ℃, and the thickness of the quilt should be increased or decreased with the change of temperature; do not wear too much clothes for the baby.
For babies with pathological night sweat, treatment should be carried out according to the cause. The night sweat caused by calcium deficiency should be supplemented with calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D, etc., and the following points should be achieved: (1) more exposure to sunlight, including outdoor light and reflected light. Can be in outdoor activities, do not sun through the glass. (2) strongly promote breastfeeding. (3) vitamin D should be added to premature infants, twins, children with diarrhea or other digestive diseases. (4) in the northern rural areas or cold areas, measures should be taken to prevent rickets, such as' sunning in summer and taking vitamin D in winter '. For night sweats caused by tuberculosis, regular anti tuberculosis treatment should be carried out under the guidance of doctors.
Whether it is physiological or pathological hyperhidrosis, the nursing work of Baoma is very important.. (this article is edited and collated by sihai.com, reprinted and noted with source, original link: http://www.4hw.com.cn/life/)
After sweating, dry the skin with a dry towel in time, change clothes in time, and move briskly to avoid cold. Pay attention to timely supplement of water and salt.
