Suggest Remedy For Sweating In Hands & Arms
Hi, I m at my witsend, my baby has cold clammy sweats, she has sweat on her head, back and arms. She is now 13 months, I noticed this when she was a month old, it was mainly her hands and feet. I strip her down to her diaper and she is still sweating even when it s hot or cold. The pediatrician has said she may be having a hard time regulating her body temperature. I am really worried, she has had an EKG at 12 months and as best as it could be done, they said all looked well. What causes this excessive sweating?

Hi,
Get your baby's thyroid profile and blood sugar checked, quite possible that they are deranged and cause of excessive sweating.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
