Patient's question:
What kinds of diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? Could you please explain why babies sweat a lot?Doctor's answer:
Hyperhidrosis refers to excessive sweating caused by the overactivity of sweat glands. During childhood, due to high metabolism, high skin water content, and a dense distribution of capillaries, children generally sweat more than adults. Excessive sweating caused by high environmental temperatures, overly thick clothing and bedding, or intense physical activity is a necessary physiological process for the body to regulate its temperature. If none of these factors are present, excessive sweating while the body is at rest is referred to as pathological hyperhidrosis.
