Brief Answer:
Try over the counter antiperspirant, showers and staying in cooler place

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to HCM

I have gone through your query.
Sweat or perspiration often feels sticky if you sweat profusely or let the sweat dry on your skin.
Does she have any medical condition. Hour long she had been facing this problem. How is the climate at your place.
Presently I would recommend her stay at cooler temperature and I would have suggested you to use over the counter antiperspirant.

Hope this helps.
Take care.
