What to do if your child sweats too much? An old Chinese doctor tells you how to treat it

Some parents may find that their children sometimes sweat a lot when they are sleeping, even though the surrounding temperature is not very high and the children do not feel very hot. This is a symptom of night sweats. Why do children sweat profusely? How should it be adjusted?

1: Children sweat at night and stop sweating after waking up. Traditional Chinese medicine calls it "night sweats". It is mostly due to yin deficiency, which is usually called "false sweats".

2: In the hot summer, children suffer from the high temperature and heat waves, and their sweating increases, resulting in insufficient Qi and Yang, loss of body fluid, and an imbalance of body fluid in the body. Moreover, when it is hot, children's appetite will be affected if they drink a lot of water and consume raw and cold fruits, making them lose interest in eating and feel full. As a result, nutrients such as protein and vitamins in food are not replenished in time, and their resistance decreases. As a result, many children suffer from diseases, and their bodies are still in a relatively weak state after recovery.

3: During the day, children are very active, so sweat on their skin evaporates and does not easily accumulate. At night, due to reasons such as covering with too thick a quilt or drinking milk or hot drinks before going to bed, the body produces more heat, which helps the body's body fluids to be released. Therefore, children sweat profusely.

1: When it comes to dietary adjustments, many parents will definitely think of tonics, supplements, and big fish and meat first. Regardless of your child's physical condition, let your child eat ginseng, deer antlers, chicken, duck, shrimp, fish, fresh seafood, etc. for "great tonic". This idea is really not advisable. Eating a large amount of difficult-to-digest food after the autumn cools down will inevitably increase the burden on the spleen and stomach, and even damage the normal digestive function of children. The result is gastrointestinal dysfunction, food cannot be effectively digested, nutrients cannot be absorbed and utilized by the human body, and may even cause disease.

2: Chinese medicine and diet can be used to regulate the body to achieve the balance of yin and yang. You can use Chinese medicinal materials such as lily, pseudostellaria, and schisandra chinensis together with other medicines for decoction, or take dragon bone, oyster powder, etc. before going to bed every night to nourish yin and suppress yang. By replenishing Qi and strengthening the exterior, the body's ability to contain and stop sweating is enhanced.

3: Ganmai Dazao Soup. The folk method of making this soup is: take 30 grams of floating wheat, 3-5 grams of licorice, 10 dates, and an appropriate amount of rock sugar. Wash the floating wheat and licorice. Remove the pits from the dates. Put floating wheat, licorice and jujube into a pot, add appropriate amount of water and simmer for 30 minutes, then add rock sugar. You can eat the jujube and drink the soup, one dose per day.

Eat a regular diet, and properly combine high-protein foods, grains, vegetables, and fruits in coarse and fine amounts to ensure adequate nutrition. Drinking more porridge, such as red dates and lotus seeds porridge, rock sugar and white fungus porridge, lily and longan porridge, etc., is very beneficial for nourishing yin and replenishing qi.
