6yr old DS is very sweaty all the time

Even at rest. The doctor says it's fine and some kids are just sweaty, but it concerns me. Should I get another opinion?

No harm in a second opinion.

Sounds like a thyroid issue. Over act sweat glands are more common than you think. Botox.

Is it just in his armpits? Is his skin flushed? Is he a heavy-set kid? Is your house really warm?

Can you give some context?

Thyroid/endocrine or heart issues.

Is he super active? People who sweat easy and often are in good shape.

My son also has this his hands and feet are always sweaty. He sweats in his sleep, but not really in day to day life. I did take him to my derm, and she recommended carpe for hands and feet. Said they are working on a Botox cream. Nothing really to do.
