Girl age 6 Sweating

4 replies

Starsonsky · 04/02/2026 09:53

Hello!
My girl is 6 and a half , very tall for her age and she sweats like an adult lately, she stinks although I do wash her , sometimes she used to sweat every few days but now in few hours she needs washing again. Is that normal? I think she is way too young for deodorant? Any advice
I think her breasts are showing signs of growing, she has one that it is tender.
(I am waiting Genetics results because she had one marker for CAH but no definitive answers and I hope that she doesn't have premature puberty..).thanks

You need to make a GP appointment about this as it sounds like precocious puberty.

What can GP do about this? I don't want them to say that I am overreacting

They can refer your little girl to a paediatrician, who can prescribe medication to delay puberty until a more normal age, if precocious puberty is indeed what it is. This would also mean that she will carry on growing as children who go through precocious puberty often end up being very short.

Hello
Tonsils stones , on a child age 13 , already went to ask advice from GP and dentists and also tried to take them out but one won't budge as it seem covered by tonsil tissue..my boy's breath really smells that it fills the room and the smell doesn't improve (over 1 year of it) . Nobody seems to want to help as they don't cover this..I cannot go private ENT as I don't have thousands to spare 🙄..please advise if anyone did anything private? Or how , where? Thanks
