10 and 2 are the ages,yes they have seen their pediatrician about it,he said do NOT squirt water on them as that may cool them down too fast and put them into shock,he says just keep them hydrated well,but I would think there is something more? he said there is meds for adults but none suitable for children! and just not to let them get dehyrdated!
they can just be pl aying normal games or whatever!,my fear is now that they are back in school/preschool something may happen! Ive warned teachers but still worry they wont pay close enough attention to my girls!

I am far from being qualified to make any medical judgements but you asked if anyone has ever heard of that.I work at a deaf and blind school as an aid.We have some very ill children there.As I understand,some of them have compromised glandular problems and are unable to sweat.All I know for sure is that it's important we do not let them get too hot or they could convulse.Not to scare you or anything,but might be important enough to see a specialist or another Dr.There might not be a serious problem but I would have it checked out.

Just make them bring a bottle of water to squirt over the face and neck. As children they dont have too much sweat.

You don't mention ages..........
Children sweat far less than adults.
You don't mention what they have been doing......
Get them to sit quietly in the shade for a while, perhaps with a wet cloth on the back of their neck and have a cool drink, water is best!

I am sixteen years old and i have anorexia. because i have messed up my body so much i also have the same problem. when i go outside with my sister to play soccer, my face gets very red and i am burning up, but i have no sweat. they may have a problem with their sweat glands. take them to a different pediatritian. it can be dangerous. until then make sure they are hydrated. good luck. i wish you the best.

The scent fairly begins while they've handed puberty (and by means of God does it then ! - specially ft if you do not lead them to wash 4 or 5 instances an afternoon!) - it ought to be hormonal or some thing.

Sounds dangerous if they overheat. Have they seen someone about it?
