Hi
Your son seems to be suffering from hyperhydrosis. Do not worry as it can be easily treated. I would recommend you to visit a dermatologist. They will clinically examine him to check for reason and definitive treatment needed. They may also advice for sweat test if required.
Modalities such as antiperspirant sprays, iontophoresis and botulinum toxin injections are commonly used for hyperhidrosis.
Hopefully this will help you.
Take care
