Patient's question:
1-year-old loves sweating, laboratory tests show calcium deficiency, has pigeon chest, especially loves sweating, wears very little but still sweats, gets sweaty all over the head with any activity, like after washing hair, sweats a lot during naps at night, sweat on the head, back, and front chest, two hours after falling asleep...Doctor's answer:
The body is in a developmental stage, with muscles and skin still very weak, making it easier for children to sweat compared to adults. If a child sweats only in small amounts, grows and develops well, and is lively without other symptoms, this is considered normal.Recommendation: Proper growth and development in children require appropriate digestive nutrients. Among various minerals, iron, zinc, and calcium are the most likely to be deficient. Therefore, many parents often buy calcium powder or calcium tablets for their children.
Calcium-rich foods include milk, cheese, eggs, soy products, kelp, laver, shrimp skin, sesame, hawthorn, seafood, and vegetables. In particular, milk is an excellent source of calcium. Drinking 500 grams of milk daily can provide 600 milligrams of calcium. Combined with approximately 300 milligrams of calcium from other foods in the diet, children can fully meet their calcium needs.
