Excessive Sweating: Home Care & Treatment
After an episode of unusual sweating, the face and body should be sponged, wet clothes and/or bed sheets changed. Lost body fluids should be replaced by drinking plenty of water.
Room temperature should be kept moderate to prevent additional sweating.
For sweating due to menopause, consult your health care provider about estrogen replacement.
