Is the baby sweating sick?
As mothers, we may have a little change in our baby, and we can all be keenly aware of it and start a series of brainstorming to determine whether this is normal or not and whether there is a solution.
For example, if a baby sweats, we may hear two kinds of sounds. First, sweating is abnormal. We adults sweat when we are hot, so there is no need to make a fuss.
Another voice is whether the baby is sick, what's wrong with the baby, and whether the mother wears too many clothes for the baby. When the mother doesn't care at all, let the baby sweat so much, quickly reduce clothes, suddenly cool down when the baby sweats a lot, or reduce clothes in a relatively cold environment, which makes the temperature difference bigger, which is particularly easy to cause a cold. At this time, I will say I saw it. I said too much. Now it's okay. I have a cold.
No, we still need to analyze the reason scientifically. In fact, not all sweating is hot. Sweating can be divided into physiological sweating and pathological sweating. Physiological sweating is because the baby's body metabolism is very strong, or he wears too much clothes and covers too much, especially when it is hot in summer or has a lot of activity. This is normal physiological sweating, and proper physical cooling is enough.
There is a kind of sweating that belongs to pathological sweating. This kind of sweating is not only the head sweating, especially when the baby sleeps, the back is wet, and the clothes and sheets are soaked, which is especially easy to catch cold. This may be pathological sweating. We need to distinguish carefully.
What is pathological sweating?
Pathological sweating has night sweats caused by calcium deficiency, which may be an early symptom of rickets. In addition to night sweats caused by calcium deficiency, there are many reasons such as tuberculosis, anemia and rheumatism. Besides sweating, what are the manifestations of different pathological reasons?
Symptoms of calcium deficiency in infants
1. Hyperhidrosis: One-year-old baby's calcium deficiency often manifests as increased sweating, which has nothing to do with temperature. Especially after the baby falls asleep, his head often sweats, so the baby will unconsciously rub the pillow, and over time, there will be pillow baldness.
2. Mental irritability: The baby will show no interest in everything around him, and sometimes parents will find that their baby is not as lively as before.
3. Wake up at night: When sleeping at night, the baby often wakes up suddenly and keeps crying after waking up.
4. Humpback: Although the baby's abdomen will be more prominent, when the baby's calcium deficiency is serious, the muscles of the abdomen will relax, resulting in serious gas accumulation in the intestinal cavity, making the abdomen more swollen than the average baby. If calcium deficiency leads to spinal relaxation, hunchback will appear.
Symptoms and manifestations of tuberculosis in infants
Sometimes I have night sweats, sometimes I often cough, and I usually lose weight or develop stunted. Sudden high fever, body temperature 38-40, lasting 2-3 weeks, and then reduced to low fever, which is generally more serious. Accompanied by symptoms of tuberculosis poisoning, severe cough, shortness of breath, hepatosplenomegaly, and some have no obvious symptoms.
Symptoms and manifestations of anemia in infants
1. Anemia will reduce the number of red blood cells and hemoglobin in the body, leading to lighter blood color, so pale skin will appear.
2. The baby's appetite is also poor, and there will be a phenomenon of not loving breastfeeding, and there will be fatigue when breastfeeding. Will often cry, night sweats, daze, do not like to laugh, thin body, showing a tendency to malnutrition.
3. Anemia can also lead to low immunity, so the baby often has a cold and fever. Daily mood is also easy to be agitated, often quiet and inactive.

Symptoms and manifestations of infantile rheumatism
1, volatile oral ulcer, if it continues to recur, especially accompanied by abdominal pain, rash, skin photosensitivity, alopecia, etc. Be alert to rheumatic immune diseases.
2, repeated fever, infection Some parents think that children often "catch a cold", and there are many reasons for children's repeated "colds", but one disease is indeed related to what parents call "poor resistance", called immunodeficiency disease (primary immunodeficiency disease).
3, joint swelling or pain, most rheumatic immune diseases have joint swelling and pain, if the baby has obvious joint pain after non-trauma, especially joint swelling or limited activity, please be sure to check.
4, dry mouth and dry eyes, easy to sweat, dry mouth and dry eyes, especially older girls, should be more vigilant.
5, muscle weakness, such symptoms can be seen in juvenile dermatomyositis, polymyositis, infection and metabolic related diseases.
