Why do kids wake up sweating? Parents should be aware that these five points have nothing to do with calcium deficiency.
Introduction : Families often say that children are the "treasures" of their parents, especially newborn children, whose parents will take special care of them. Parents will also be very worried if their children have a small problem, which can easily lead to misunderstandings. For example, if a child sweats profusely while sleeping, parents may think there is something wrong with the child.
For example, they may be deficient in vitamins and need to supplement calcium and nutrients. In fact, there are many reasons why children sweat, not necessarily calcium deficiency. Just like a child who is only a few months old, even if he lies in bed and does not exercise, his head and forehead will sweat a lot. If a child can run and walk, he will often sweat after exercising. So there are many factors for sweating, so we need to find out the cause and then use the right medicine. Children always sweat when they sleep.
The reasons may be:
Children's physical development is not perfect and they sweat easily. After
is born, children are still in the growth stage. Whether it's mentally or physically, they need time to continue to improve. Their sweat glands, which regulate their nervous systems, are not fully developed. The pores on the body are not fully open. Even if the child is not exercising strenuously or has fallen asleep, the body's metabolism is still going on. Body heat is removed through sweating.
The weather is hot and the lid is too thick.
Many times, parents feel that their children's body temperature will drop a lot after falling asleep. Therefore, in order to prevent their children from catching colds, they often cover their children tightly with quilts. When I opened the quilt, the child was already sweating. In fact, children’s bodies also have the ability to regulate themselves. If a child is really cold, his or her body will tremble involuntarily. At this time, parents can add quilts to their children. If a child feels hot, his body and forehead will sweat. At this time, the child should not be covered too thickly.
Eating before going to bed can also cause sweating.
Many children are used to taking a nap after lunch. However, if they rest after a long period of time because they eat too much or drink a lot of water at lunch, it is easy to cause a lot of sweating during sleep or want to go to the toilet. Parents need to control their children's diet before going to bed, or let their children rest properly after meals and then go to bed. We should also be careful not to do strenuous exercise before going to bed, because children will sweat a lot after exercise. At this time, when they fall asleep, the sweat that is not completely discharged will flow out when they fall asleep, so there is a serious phenomenon of sweating in children.
Vitamin deficiencies may also cause sweating.
Many children lack vitamins in their bodies, which can easily cause their physical fitness to decline and become weak. Like rickets , this is also one of the reasons why children sweat easily. Calcium deficiency is also one of the causes of sweating in children. However, specific circumstances require analysis. After years of detailed examination in the hospital, this pathological sweating needs to be improved.
How can I sleep if my child sweats a lot?
1. Reduce these behaviors before your child goes to bed.
As mentioned above, if children drink too much water or eat too much or exercise too much before going to bed, they will sweat a lot while sleeping. Therefore, before your child goes to bed, try to drink less, eat less, and do less exercise. You can complete the above activities one to two hours before your child goes to sleep. Allow children to fully digest dietary energy before going to bed.
2. Observe temperature changes and adjust the thickness of children's sleeping clothes according to the temperature.
Summer is getting colder and winter is getting hotter. Therefore, parents often turn on the air conditioner for their children when they are sleeping. At this time, you can add or remove clothes for your child appropriately according to the temperature of the air conditioner. It's summer. When sleeping, you can cover your child with a thin quilt to prevent the air conditioner from blowing and causing the child to catch a cold. If the quilt is in winter, you need to add a layer of cotton wool inside to make it thicker.During the child's rest period, parents also need to touch the child's body from time to time to see if they are sweating or catching a cold, and add or remove clothes for the child in time.
3. Children need to pay special attention 30 minutes before going to bed.
About half an hour to an hour before children fall asleep is the time when they are most likely to sweat. When the child first falls asleep, you cannot cover the child with a quilt. After the child sweats, cover him with a quilt to prevent the child from sweating too much after falling asleep and the quilt will be soaked with sweat. Touch your child's back in time to see if there is any sweat. If you sweat, wipe it dry in time.
4. Timely vitamin supplementation and calcium deficiency are one of the reasons why children may sweat.
Due to calcium deficiency, children really sweat, so it is necessary to supplement calcium to children in a timely manner under the guidance of a doctor. Drink milk appropriately. When there is enough sunshine, you can take your children to bask in the sun. It can also help your child get calcium. What vitamins does the child's body lack? It needs to be supplemented after the doctor’s decision. For example, some children who are breastfed after birth can add some vitamin D appropriately.
5. Sweating in children should not be ignored.
See a doctor according to the situation. Some children sweat for physiological reasons, as mentioned above. There are also some babies with pathological sweating that need to be examined in the hospital and treated according to the doctor's specific diagnosis. Therefore, if your child sweats severely but there is no way to solve it, you must seek medical treatment in time. It is difficult for parents to take care of their children. The physiological development systems of growing children are not yet fully mature, and parents need to take careful care of them. Sweating and other problems in children should also be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. Just one sentence, calcium deficiency cannot completely solve the problem. Parents should pay more attention.
