Hello. Sweating is a normal phenomenon when you are indulge in any physical and muscular activity. But if she sweats even at resting then rule out the following factors- 1- Diabetes mellitus 2- Thyroid disorders 3- obesity. Majority cause can be due to thyroid dysfunction. But before going to any diagnosis go for health check up. Thanks.

Excessive sweating is due to overactive sweat glands which are under nerve control. There are many causes like anxiety, thyroid hormone excess and some times in diabetes. Most often there will not be any specific disease that is identified.
