Question
In the past two days, my baby’s hands and feet have been sweating excessively, as if they had just been washed. They feel cool and then get better, but then the hands and feet become warm again. What could be the cause, and how should it be treated?
Answer
Firstly, if a child’s sweating is particularly noticeable, it should be considered whether they have a fever or a cold, and further diagnosis is needed. Moreover, for children, it is important to be aware of the possibility of deficiencies in trace elements such as calcium and magnesium. Consider conducting a trace element test to formulate an appropriate treatment plan. Ferrous sulfate oral solution can be used in conjunction with this, and if diagnosed with a trace element deficiency, multivitamin tablets can be taken to stabilize symptoms.
