Brief Answer:
Viral infection in recovery

Detailed Answer:
Dear patient,

Sweating means often that the fever is going down. To me it sounds very much like your infection is recovering and that you will be over it very soon. Please take some rest and drink a lot and give it 1-2 more days.

Best regards
