Why is there sweat on the face and head?

Sweating on the face and head is quite common in daily life. The main reason for this is physiological sweating, such as when the weather is hot or after exercise. Such symptoms may occur. Of course, in daily life, we should pay attention to some pathological causes of sweating, such as calcium deficiency, which can easily lead to such sweating, and the influence of drugs, such as antihypertensive drugs taken by patients with hypertension, etc.

Why is there sweat on the face and head?

1. Physiological night sweats: In childhood, the skin is very tender, contains more water, has abundant capillaries, has active metabolism, and the autonomic nervous system regulation function is not yet perfect, so it is easy to sweat during activities. If children are too active before going to bed, the metabolism of various organs in the body will be active, which can increase the body's heat production. During sleep, the blood vessels in the skin will dilate, the sweat glands will secrete more, and the child will sweat profusely to help dissipate heat. Secondly, eating before going to bed can enhance gastrointestinal motility, increase gastric juice secretion, and increase sweat gland secretion, which can cause children to sweat more after falling asleep, especially within the first 2 hours of falling asleep. In addition, if the indoor temperature is too high, or the quilt is too thick, or electric blanket is used, it can cause profuse sweating during sleep.

The main points are as follows:

1. Sometimes when you are sick, while taking medication, you should also do necessary physical exercise to improve your body's immunity. Develop regular living habits, but also pay attention to the combination of work and rest. 2. In terms of diet, you should find out the dietary rules that are beneficial or harmful to your own illness, and carry out the dietary therapy that best suits you. Patients with yin deficiency, blood heat, and yin deficiency and hyperactivity of fire should abstain from spicy and irritating foods, avoid drinking alcohol, and eat more fresh vegetables that nourish yin and clear heat, so that the secretory function of the sweat glands can be restored firmly on the basis of body health. 3. When conditions permit, adjust the temperature and humidity of the living environment appropriately. For example, the living environment of those with yin deficiency and blood heat should be slightly cooler. 4. The patient's bedding, beds, pajamas, etc. should be washed or dried in the sun frequently to keep them dry, and the patient should take a bath frequently to reduce the irritation of sweat to the skin. 5. For patients with severe night sweats and long-term bedriddenness, family members should pay special attention to strengthening care to avoid bedsores.
