What Causes Excessive Sweating On Hands And Feet?

My grandson is 8 months old, and we noticed that he sweats a lot on his hands and feet... is this normal for his age and if it is, when will it go away ? or is this an indication of a condition we should be aware of ? other than this, he is a very vibrant, healthy little boy.

Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.

What you quote is suggestive of Hyperthyroidism or hyperhidrosis and it could be a normal variant too. I suggest you met your pediatrician and rule out these and then be rest assured.

Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
