From TCM point of view, excessive sweating in children can be due to the following causes:

• Weak body constitution 
• Insufficient of Ying qi and Wei qi
• Yin deficiency

The deficiency of qi can lead to a weak spleen and further deplete the qi-blood viscera function.  In the long run, it will affect the growth and health condition of the child. As there are different reasons in excessive sweating, parents are advice to seek a TCM practitioner to find out the root cause of the problem.  

Dietary tips from Dr. Li Rui:
When preparing pork rib / chicken soup, parents can add “HuangQi黄芪”, “Chinese Dates 大枣”, ginger and oyster.  This herbal soup helps to strengthen the spleen and tonify the qi so that the child can absorb the nutrition from the food.  Regular exercise also play an important role for the children to have a healthy body.
