Suggest Treatment For Excessive Sweating And Dry Mouth
Question: My Mother is 65 years old and she is reporting of exceesive sweating in summers and winters both. When she wakes up in morning , her mouth is completly dry. Although she drinks plenty of water.
Brief Answer:
Have you been tested for diabetes? High functioning thyroid?
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this excessive sweating. I will suggest that she gets her thyroid function evaluated as a hyper functioning thyroid is one of the most common causes of excessive sweating. With the dry mouth, it is necessary to evaluate her for diabetes by doing a fasting blood sugar. Also, how often does she urinate and is she drinking much fluids than in the past?
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
