Detailed Answer:
Hi dear Marian,

I am sorry for the situation your daughter is going through.

You are reporting :
- your daughter has been sweating from head to toe permanently for 9 months
- she has tried penicillin (which is indicating bacterial infection); steroids (cortisone and betnovate). Betnovate is used in certain skin conditions; can you specify the skin problems she is having?
Can you also specify if her symptoms started before or after starting the treatment with cortisone (orally and locally)?
Has she done any test so far? Can you please provide the reports so I can analyze them further?

From what you are saying, she is experiencing some type of infection. The requested data are needed to specify the real cause.

For the moment, I advise to:
- give her anti-inflammatory meds (e.g. ibuprofen, acetaminophen)
- give her plenty of water with ORS to keep her well hydrated as she is losing fluids and electrolytes while sweating
- encourage her to take meds as prescribed

Wish fast recovery!
Dr.Albana
