Do you have "calcium anxiety"? Let's take a look:
When I was a child, I watched cartoons, and the magic brainwashing advertisement came
"Ate calcium X calcium and went up to the 5th floor in one breath"
"Bone mass loss after xx years old, calcium supplementation is the key"
I have to admit that the advertisement successfully squeezed into the small head melon, resulting in our parents, the baby's body has a wind and grass, parents suspect that calcium deficiency, vitamin deficiency.
Parents: Children love to sweat, is it a lack of calcium, right?
Parents: Baby sleeps and sweats, pillows are soaked, do you want to supplement calcium?
Conclusion prepends: Children sweating a lot are usually not related to calcium deficiency!
Sweating is generally a normal physiological phenomenon
Child health care physician Chen Xiaoli said that when the human body temperature exceeds the normal range, that is, greater than 37 ° C, the brain activates sweat glands, secretes sweat, and helps the body maintain normal temperature. When sweating, the body loses water, salt, sugar, and a very small amount of metabolic waste.
The temperature of the human body is constant, and excess heat cannot be dissipated, and there is a proper fever.
Sweat glands secrete sweat when the temperature is too high, and after the moisture in the sweat evaporates, the temperature of the body drops to normal levels.
Children just love to sweat
Metabolism is fast and thermogenesis is abundant. Children are in the growth and development period, metabolism is more vigorous than adults, and metabolism will produce heat, more heat production will have to dissipate more heat, and the most important way to dissipate heat is to sweat.
The central nervous system is underdeveloped. Sweating is regulated by the central nervous system, and children are not well developed and will manifest themselves through sweating. At the same time, the child's balance from excitement to inhibition is poor, and there will also be increased sweating.
Sleeping and sweating: Check yourself if your child's clothes are thick? Is the ambient temperature too high?
Feeding and sweating: For babies, feeding is a strenuous "exercise" that is prone to sweating.
But these conditions sweat, which is abnormal
In daily life, parents should pay attention to observation, when the child not only sweats a lot, but also has other abnormal manifestations, it is necessary to consider whether it is sweating in the pathological state!
Abnormal sweating
1. Emaciation, dry cough or sputum with blood in it, and at the same time always say that it is not energetic or behaves weakly, and it is accompanied by a body temperature higher than normal, then consider whether there is tuberculosis.
2. If you eat a lot, do not grow meat, irritability or even bulge your eyes, you should consider whether there is hyperthyroidism.
3. Sweating, recurrent respiratory infections, and slow growth should consider whether there is an immunodeficiency.
4. Sweating, shaky hands, pale face, eyelids, lips are white, usually do not like to eat, then consider whether there is anemia.
If the child in addition to sweating, eating, drinking, pulling, sprinkling, sleeping is not affected, and there is no repeated respiratory infection, usually a normal phenomenon, only need to replace the sweaty pillow and clothes in time.
Knowledge extension
How to ensure that calcium is sufficient?
Under normal circumstances, the baby is guaranteed 500ml of milk or a considerable amount of milk products per day, which can basically ensure adequate calcium intake. In addition, soybeans and their products, green leafy vegetables are also good sources of calcium.
How much vitamin D do I need to supplement per day?
Appropriate vitamin D supplementation promotes calcium absorption, and the general dose for preventing deficiency is 400 to 800 units / day.
If the baby is in a state of vitamin D deficiency, then the dose of vitamin D that needs to be supplemented is more than 400 units, and the specific amount of supplementation needs to see how much vitamin D deficiency is. You can go to the hospital to test your baby and supplement it appropriately under the advice of a doctor.
