Hi doctor I have a problem of sweating in my hands which cause a lot of trouble in my day to day tasks please help.

Question

HI Lybrate User, You can't prevent sweating. Your body needs it to keep you cool, but if you're getting drenched every time you go outside on a warm day, try using a clinical-strength antiperspirant deodorant that blocks sweating and helps prevent body odour. You can also wear lightweight natural fabrics to help stay dry. Exercise indoors in a cool place so you don't sweat so much. If you prefer to exercise outdoors, do it in the morning or late afternoon when it's not so hot outside. Remember, when you sweat you're losing fluids. So drink plenty of water or a sports drink before, during, and after your exercise routine. He simplest thing to do is to cut down or stop eating spicy foods. Sweating while you eat may also be a side effect of salivary gland or neck surgery, which botulinum toxin injections can sometimes treat. If alcohol is making you sweat and you can't stop drinking on your own, ask your doctor about help cutting back. Quitting smoking is the best solution, and it can also reduce your risks of cancer, heart disease and stroke. Talk to your GP or pharmacist about help stopping smoking so you can quit for good. Wear light, breathable fabrics. Cool off with a refreshing shower or bath. Drink plenty of water so you don't get dehydrated. Hope this helps. Good Luck.
