Causes of sweating in children
It is believed that the child's sweating occurs mainly in the summer. However, this is not quite so. Often the child's sweating on the body appears as a result of excessive wrapping. Careful parents believe that their crumbs freeze, and try to put on it as much warm clothes or wrap up an incredibly warm blanket. As a result, the child sweats, warm and uncomfortable clothing rubs the tender skin and a sweating arises.
In addition, the disease can develop due to non-compliance with the daily hygiene of the baby, improper care and the use of too fatty creams that clog up the yet unformed sweaty glands.
The fastest eruptions appear on the most delicate areas of the body: on the neck, face and back, in the groin. Also it is worthwhile to know that sweating in infants develops many times more often than do older ones.
What does a child's sweating look like?
The main manifestation of the disease are multiple small rashes on the delicate skin of the child. They can be in the form of simple reddish points or in the form of bubbles filled with serous contents.
Sweating on the legs, arms or back of a child does not normally extend to other parts of the body. But the erupted rash on the neck can spread beyond its localization area.
The appearance of red dots often causes constant itching. A bubble when combing burst, leaving behind a peeling area.
Symptoms of sweating in children
And although this disease is not an infectious disease and is not transmitted through contact, its running will not lead to anything good. That is why it is so important to recognize the signs of sweating in children and begin timely treatment.
So, how to determine the child's chalk? The first symptoms are:
- appearance of small red dots or bubbles with liquid on the skin of the child;
- appearance of red dots in a short time after overheating of the child;
- change in the appearance of a rash within one day;
- the appearance on the body of the baby crusty crusts, filled with a yellowish liquid.
In the latter case, the child most often develops yellow sweating, which develops as a result of the attachment of a bacterial infection.
What should I do if my child has a fever?
If you find a red rash in your baby - do not panic. After all, even a strong sweating in the child is treated, and the list of all kinds of means is quite extensive. Very often, it generally disappears by itself after the elimination of the provoking factor.
If this did not happen, folk medicine comes to the rescue:
- bathe the child in warm water with the addition of decoction of chamomile or string;
- after bathing do not rush to immediately put on a child - let him lie down a bit naked and wither;
- Instead of fatty creams, use a powder that perfectly helps in the fight against chalk;
- wipe the place of rashes with olive oil.
In addition to proven methods, many parents use baths with potassium permanganate or soda, rub the baby's skin with diluted vodka. These methods of treating sweating are not recommended only for the reason that they can inflict severe burns on the newborn, which then also have to be treated.
For the prevention of this disease it is recommended to keep the child clean, arrange air baths for him, change diapers more often, walk in the fresh air and use only baby creams.
