Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about these symptoms that your son is experiencing. This might represent a possible drug interaction. To investigate this, I need a list of his medications for review. Please, kindly state the different medications he take at this time.

With increased feelings of warmth and sweating, I will suggest that he drinks much water to compensate for fluid losses. As soon as we figure out the cause, we will address it.

I hope to hear from you soon and promise to weigh in immediately the list of his current medications get here.
