Why Do Children Often Sweat?

Question

Why does my child often sweat?

Answer

Children tend to sweat more because they have a high metabolism and are usually very active, which means they produce more sweat than adults. When they are active, breastfeeding quickly, or excitedly playing, they are prone to sweating. In these situations, the sweat is physiological, and usually, once the cause of sweating is identified, the sweating will stop. There is no specific standard for the amount of sweat, but the key is to observe whether the child has any other symptoms or discomfort when sweating.
