Question
What could be the reason for my 10-month-old baby’s frequent excessive sweating on hands and feet? Thank you.
Answer
Based on the above situation, it may be caused by a calcium deficiency or night sweats. It is recommended to first test for trace elements, and if a deficiency is confirmed, to promptly supplement with calcium gluconate. At the same time, it is important to monitor the baby’s body temperature changes and consider massage therapy, focusing on the Zhiyin and Yongquan points. Zhiyin is located on the outer side of the baby’s sixth toe nail bed, while Yongquan is near the center of the sole, close to the toes. When all the toes are curled, a central crease on the sole forms an ‘X’ shape, where Yongquan is situated.
