Treatment for Gustatory Sweating? Avoid food.
9 months later, within one minute of eating a sour apple, the patient developed severe sweating over the left half of the face and the left chest. The reaction was confirmed by infra-red thermography which proved that the skin temperature in the sweating region had fallen to 3 degrees C. The likely cause of localized gustatory sweating is intra-operative damage of the stellate ganglion or its preganglionic nerve connections. Treatment is limited to avoidance of the precipitating gustatory stimulus.
