Hi,
Sweating can happen due to the pain she is feeling. She also has to make sure she has no numbness in the toes where the cast is put, they should not feel cold or like dead and they should not look blue.
If she notices any cold feeling on the toes, they are blue or they feel numb, the cast might be too tight and she needs urgent care to address this.
I hope this answers your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
