Hot

My youngest has always been like this. We tend to stay at the pool in the summer and she's the one closest to the AC in the car. Nobody minds because it keeps her from screaming how hot she is :)

I do keep her hydrated and if she is going to be in an uncomfortably hot situation, we take ice packs in a cooler that she can use. They do make a neck band that you wet and keep in the fridge. It is supposed to stay cool for two-four hours and it worked well for my Daddy when he worked in the yard. Google it because I can't remember where we got ours.

God bless,

My daughter also gets easily flushed, hot and sweats when it gets warmer outside as well as sometimes at night or nap time when the rooms are warmer. I have found to keep pushing fluids helps a bit, water with a lemon in it is a nice change up and very refreshing in the summer (my 3 almost 4 year old loves it).

For your peace of mind get an answer from the doctor, more then "thats normal" have them actaully explain why this happens if you are still concerned about it after reading the responses to your question.

Hey H.,

My oldest daughter pukes if she is in hot stagnet weather. I make sure she always has water and she now even has one of those little battery operated fans. She totally loves the outdoors and we are always around water somewhere during the hot months. But there have been a few times that she is just in the hot, suffacating humidity with no breeze....and yikes, she gets sick.

Good luck,
DH

I am also like this. I too used to live in Texas and it positively felt like I was melting when walking to my vehicle. After going to my regular doctor, then getting a second opinion, then going to a specialist it was determined that I had (have) Hyperhidrosis and Hyperpyrexia. In addition to those lovely things, my ability to sweat is impaired so I sweat internally rather than externally (meaning: I do not visibly sweat- I overheat).

I have no idea, nor am I trying to suggest, that your daughter may have these but depending where you read info about the previously mentioned conditions, you see all manner of definitions. The suggestion here is to get a second or even third opinion. At the least, if nothing is going on then so much the better. Some medical professionals may just not have had broad range of experience with semi-obscure conditions. So what can it hurt to ask around?

The link below is a good source of info on both and can give you an idea of questions you might want to ask your Ped.

Hope this helps!

I also have this problem and am very succeptible to heat stroke. They say once you have it, you will get it more often; I've experienced it threee times in my adulthood!
Besides drinking lots of water, like everyone else has said, I also cut out hot drinks and food during the summer so that my body will stay cooler. Even spicey food heats up my body, so I try to avoid that also. I basically change my diet for the seasons!
One trick that might help your daughter cool off is to put your wrists under running cold water. It just takes a few minutes and your body feels so much better!

I've had this problem since I was 13 (I'm 18 now), and it's gotten worse since I have become pregnant. Drinking a lot of water helps a little bit, and being able to sit down and rest in between or during activities also helps.

I would just really push the fluids. Young children can't always regulate their temperatures as well as we can (often sweat glands aren't functioning at full force), so it makes sense that the weather can be harder on them.
Lots of water will help, always take a spray bottle with you so you can mist her down and keep her hair off her neck if possible.

she is probably just dehydrated and suffering from heat exhaustion. My kids don't like drinking water all that much, but I've found that if I tell them they have to have a glass of water for every other drink, they tolerate it better. I also let them have straws or fun cups for their drinks, and ice in any drink seems to make it more fun for some reason LOL Also, drinks like flavored water (Capri Sun has their Roarin' Waters brand) are good since they only have a few grams of sugar in them, but taste like juice. Sometimes, I will just water down my kids' juice to increase their water intake. Popsicles are also good for hot weather, and there are plenty of good-tasting sugar-free ones. I know people say it's bad to eat ice, but my kids love to eat crushed ice and I don't see anything wrong with it occasionally. You could also buy a shaved ice machine, usually about $20 at Walmart, and you can just pour a little juice over it for a healthy, cool drink
PS Walmart sells bandanas that you run under cool water and then freeze, then wear around your neck or head, those can help with this Texas heat! Look for them in the sporting goods section, or do a search online (although the ones at Walmart were the cheapest ones I found)

Be sure she has lots of liquids.
My son and I are heat lovers. It can be 100 outside and that's when we are truly happy. Otherwise, we feel like we are freezing to death. My daughter, on the other hand, never could handle the heat well.
I kept her sunblocked and covered up and in the water as much as possible for cooling down. I always made sure she stayed hydrated. She inherited her intolerance from my mother, I'm sure of it. My mom literally can't stand heat of any kind. It will make her sick or feel faint.
Anyway, if you have a part of your yard that you can put a small pool up and get a shade canopy to go over it, you can all enjoy being outside. I lived in Sacramento and it gets flaming hot there so during certain parts of the day when it was hottest, we came inside for lunch, etc. Early morning and towards late evening, we loved being outside either in the pool or sprinklers.
Also malls tend to be air conditioned. You can walk around with your kiddos and perhaps get them an ice cream cone or something. It doesn't have to be about shopping, but it can be good exercise indoors where it's cool as opposed to being stuck in the house.
My son is a very sweaty sleeper even in the dead of winter and he usually just sleeps in underpants and a light blanket. But, he could run a marathon when it's hot out.

I hope you get some other great responses.

My mother and I both have always been like this, we over heat very easily..We faint, vomit or just wilt when overheated. You probably know people that are always cold.. We are like them but the opposite..

I do not like closed toed shoes because in the winter, my feet are always hot so I like to feel the cold.. I once was in New York City during the winter.. Everybody was talking about how cold it was and I had to take off my coat and carry it around. All I needed was a hat to keep warm.. My family calls me "a furnace".

In the summer, I wear sleeveless tops and short, skorts or skirts. I can only wear cotton. Tennis shoes are like torture.. Too hot.. I own all types of sandals and wear them all of the time unless it is a formal event.

I keep a cooler in the car filled with ice and water, and juice, fruit. I walk around with a cup of iced water when I am outside. I have to wear a hat or I will wilt.. Also If I can place a cool wet bandanna around my neck it also helps keep me cool.. I have a spray bottle with a battery operated fan that helps if I have to be in a hot area with no cover.. Hiking in the summer is impossible for me. I can do it in the morning, but after 11:00am, I am done..

Some people that suffer with hypothyroidism will be really warm, but my mother and I have been check ed many times and always comes back normal

This sounds suspicious of a serious medical condition and yes, you should get a second opinion.

Yes, get a second opinion. Even if it is typical, a doctor should be able to explain to you what is happening when this comes over her. Make somebody give you details so you can understand what is going on. I simply cannot stand for a doctor to leave it at "normal for his/her/your age". My blood pressure and heart rate tend to run low. When they try to dismiss anything higher as "normal", I have to inform them that this is elevated for me. They need to stop being so insistent on painting everybody with the same brush.
