A member asked:
My son who is eight years old is very sweaty and has always been, he is otherwise healthy if a little chubby. any ideas to help please?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably normal: There are metabolic conditions that have excess sweating as a symptom. Usually these patients don't grow well. Is he normal developmentally as well as in health? If so, there's likely nothing to worry about, but bring it up to your pediatrician next visit.
