What Causes Excessive Sweating, Dry Mouth And Facial Burning And Redness?
Question: I'm in KY and its 90 degrees here and humid. I'm working at a city festival outside, under a the tent.
I just had some type of episode of sweating profusely, immediately having no salava at all, even lips dried up and it was hard to talk because mouth was so dry. Face was very red and burning. I left the and went home and started drinking as much water as i could get down. I am fixing to start on my third bottle before going back. It all happened so fast and my mouth has never been that dry, it was kind of scarey.
