Brief Answer:
estrogen therapy may help

The symptoms she is experiencing are called hot flushes. She needs estrogen replacement therapy. But as estrogen in elderly is associated with other risks detailed heart examination breast examination ,Mammogram,
Papsmear are to be done.
Please consult a Gynecology specialist for all pros and cons .
Usually within few weeks good results can be expected. Also she should increase
