Question
When I was dragging my child out for a shopping spree, I noticed that his hands were easily sweating. Later, I found out that his feet were also prone to sweating. What’s going on here?
Answer
Excessive sweating in children’s hands and feet is due to weakened liver and spleen function as well as a deficiency of trace elements. It is recommended to first take the child to the hospital for a trace element test, make an accurate diagnosis, and then appropriately supplement with calcium tablets and zinc oral solutions. If the cause is weakened liver and spleen function, children can take pediatric tonifying medicine. In their daily diet, it is also advisable to include more high-protein foods such as milk, eggs, and soy milk, and ensure good regional hygiene for the child.
