He was in ICU for 5 days due to that diagnosis. Hes been back at his house for two days now still coughing on and off but today he s broken into a cold sweat twice and his Bowel movement is a diff color. Vitals have been all good when taken. Just wanting if you have an opinion of why the cold sweats
