Underarm sweating in 7 yr daughter

Hi - DD2 is 7.5yrs but is the size of a 10yr old (is 143cm in height). She is also not on the dainty side but is not obese! She has always got hot after running and playing outside but during the summer I have noticed that, at times, she is starting to sweat under her armpits and yes (on close inspection), it does smell like BO!

I'm begining to get pretty worried and wondered if I should take her to the doctors. Don't feel that I should start getting her to wear deodrant at seven. Also, hoping that when the weather starts to cool down, so will she!

Don't know whether this is the beginning of puberty symptoms (are no others) or just plain sweating during hot weather!

My son who is 5 smells of BO under his arms sometimes.
I bought him a deodorant from lush, it's like a solid soap type thing that u rub on, no nasties in it, mostly bicarbonate of soda.

Many thanks for info. Have just logged on to the Lush website and will buy her one. Didn't want her using the likes of Sure at 7yrs!
