Patient's question:
Tianjin condition description: Doctor, my daughter is now 110 days old. Since birth, she has always sweated from her back and head, and there is also a sweaty smell like a man's. Is this normal? Could it be a calcium deficiency?History of treatment and effectiveness: Currently, no treatment has been administered.
Help desired: Is the sweaty smell normal?
Doctor's answer:
The baby always sweats a lot, it's best to go to the hospital to check if it's due to calcium deficiency. Otherwise, it might be that the baby's immunity is too weak. It's important to strengthen nutrition and exercise. If possible, you can give the baby some probiotics to enhance its own immunity. With a strong immunity, the baby won't sweat excessively. It could be related to a lack of trace elements, such as calcium. It's recommended to have the baby's blood tested for trace elements to rule out other diseases and confirm the diagnosis. Excessive sweating is common when the baby first falls asleep, but it gradually decreases afterward. This is completely normal because children in this age have a high metabolism, high skin moisture content, and a dense distribution of microvessels. Their vegetative nervous system is not yet fully developed, which is why they sweat more. You can use calcium gluconate lozenges (dissolve in water and take orally). While, it's also important to supplement vitamin D (such as: Eke Xin or vitamin D drops) to promote calcium absorption.
