The most effective relief is likely treatment. Night sweats are considered B symptoms and often resolve with treatment. You should discuss options with an oncologist.
The most definitive way to control the night sweats associated with NHL is the treatment of the underlying disease. They will be resolved quickly. In some cases (during ongoing evaluation or with early treatment) non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or prednisone can be effective; however, this needs to be discussed with your oncologist. You should take no medications that your oncologist does not know about.
