Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi
Welcome to the HCM

As per your description, it seems that your child has acute hyperhydrosis symptoms. If they are not associated with any fever or signs of infection, I would recommend you the following:

1. Go for a complete thyroid profile.
Hyperthyroidism can cause excessive sweating like this and is a cause to be treated immediately.

2. Kindly get her complete blood count, ESR, blood sugar levels and mantoux test.

3. ALSO , rule out any anxiety.

You can follow up with the reports so that I may help you in a definitive way.
Take care.

Dr. Archana Verma
