What Is The Reason Of Sweaty Palms And Feet In A Child?
My daughter is 3 yrs old. She has sweaty palms and feet constantly. When she was born she had pneumonia and acid reflux. She had a sweat test done and the test taker said she sweated enough for 2 children. I was wondering if this could be a symptom of something serious. Please help me. I can't shake the feeling it is something seriously wrong with her.

Hi,.....by what you quote I feel that she needs work up for thyroid associated problems. Sweaty palms and soles can be a manifestation of hyperthyroidism. If I were your pediatrician I would suggest you to get a thyroid profile on her.
Another possibility is that she might be having a condition called hyperhydrosis which also need to be evaluated.
