What is the reason for the baby to sweat due to fear of heat?

Many parents find that their babies sweat a lot. When they don't feel hot, their babies are sweating profusely. What's going on? Is it normal? Or is there something wrong with their body?

Why is the baby afraid of heat and sweating?

1. Calcium deficiency and decreased blood calcium levels increase the excitability of the brain and autonomic nerves, leading to excessive sweating on the head and neck and baldness on the back of the head. Babies should be supplemented with calcium and vitamin D and exposed to more sunlight. If cod liver oil causes diarrhea, vitamin D3 injections can be used instead.

2. There are many diseases that cause excessive sweating in children, such as active rheumatism, rheumatoid arthritis, active rickets, active tuberculosis, hyperthyroidism, typhoid fever, lobar pneumonia, etc.

3. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that spontaneous sweating is caused by deficiency of both heart and kidney. Imbalance of yin and yang in the human body can cause excessive sweating. Deficiency of qi and blood after illness can also lead to excessive sweating. You can ask a traditional Chinese medicine doctor to diagnose and treat you.

Baby's fear of heat

Symptom 1: If a baby feels hot when sleeping, he will feel uncomfortable and his sleep will be unstable. At this time, you will find that the baby will kick off the quilt with his little feet, put his hands and feet outside the quilt, and may also lift up his shirt to expose his little belly. In addition, parents will find that the baby's forehead and back are covered with sweat. At this time, parents must pay attention to wipe off the sweat in time.

In addition, if a baby has difficulty falling asleep and cannot fall asleep even after parents have coaxed him for a long time and sung lullabies, it is also a sign that the baby is afraid of heat.

Symptom 2: Parents can judge by touching the temperature of the baby's hands and feet. If the baby's hands and feet are hot, it proves that the baby is already warm and there is no need to blindly add thick clothes to the baby. In addition, the baby's loss of appetite is also a symptom of fever.

Symptom three: If parents find redness on the baby's face and body, or red rashes on the body, but the rashes will fade away with a cool breeze, these are typical signs that the baby is afraid of heat.

Abnormal sweating

1. Rickets

Some babies are born with congenital deficiencies, especially premature babies who lack vitamin D after birth, and are prone to rickets. Some babies lack vitamin D because their parents rarely take them out to bask in the sun. The baby lacks sunlight and is also lacking in vitamin D. A common symptom of babies with rickets is sweating. They not only sweat at night, but also during the day. Therefore, parents should observe their baby's sweating during the day. Babies with rickets can supplement vitamin D in time under the guidance of a doctor, and take the baby out to bask in the sun more often.

2. Night sweats all over the body in the second half of the night

If you find that your baby does not sweat when he first goes to sleep, but sweats a lot in the second half of the night, then your baby may be suffering from night sweats. Babies in this situation are usually infected with tuberculosis bacteria. Parents should take their children to the hospital for examination and treatment in time if they find that their children have this condition.

Normal solutions to sweating

1. Wear loose clothes that are ventilated and cool. The baby's clothes should be loose and soft to facilitate activities and be ventilated and cool. Vests and shorts can be worn when the temperature is high. Clothing materials should be soft cotton, linen, satin, silk, etc. to absorb sweat and dissipate heat. The color of clothing should be mainly light and cool colors to reduce heat radiation.

2. Food hygiene and proper diet Due to the influence of high temperature, babies will have loss of appetite or anorexia. Therefore, the diet should be soft, easy to digest, light and nutritious. Eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, fish, shrimp, lean meat, soy products, etc. You can also eat lotus seed porridge and mung bean porridge to clear away heat and summer heat. When sweating a lot, you should replenish water and salt in time, but you should not eat too much cold drinks. Pay attention to food hygiene to prevent intestinal infectious diseases.

1. Take measures to prevent heatstroke and avoid humidity. The baby's room should be ventilated, cool, quiet and clean. The room temperature should be kept at 20℃~25℃ and the relative humidity should be 40%~60%. Ensure adequate sleep, no less than 9~10 hours a day. Do not use electric fans to induce sleep to prevent wind and cold, which may cause colds. It is also not advisable to let the baby stay in an air-conditioned room all day to prevent air-conditioning disease. Take a warm bath at night. Cover the abdomen with a towel when sleeping to prevent cold and induce diarrhea. When sweating a lot, wet clothes and sweatshirts should be washed and changed frequently to prevent heatstroke and humidity, which may cause sores and prickly heat.

4. Avoid heat and cool down to prevent heatstroke. The summer sun is strong, and the sunlight contains a lot of ultraviolet rays that can burn the skin. Direct sunlight on the head can also cause heatstroke. Therefore, you should rest at home at noon when the sun is high in the sky. It is not advisable to take your children out, let alone exercise. If you go out, you should wear a straw hat or an umbrella, and you should also prepare enough drinking water and bring some heat-clearing and heat-relieving medicine. The height of the baby's pillow should be moderate, the length should be slightly larger than the baby's shoulder width, the width should be equal to the length of the head, and the height should be 3 to 4 cm. It can be gradually adjusted according to the baby's continuous development. The pillowcase is best made of soft white or light-colored cotton cloth. The texture of the pillow core should be soft, light, breathable, hygroscopic, and moderately hard and soft. You can choose rush, buckwheat husk, cattail wool and other materials to fill it. Folks use tea, mung bean skin, late silkworm sand, bamboo mushrooms, chrysanthemums, papayas, etc. to fill the pillow core, but it is not advisable to use foam plastics or acrylic fiber and silk cotton as fillers.
