What Causes Excessive Sweating Post A Moderate Fever?

I have been sick for the last few days---moderate fever, chills, body aches, VERY sore throat. My fever has been gone for 24+ hours and my throat SEEMS to be getting better. But still, I am sweating a ton. Any ideas?

I am a healthy 29 y male and am 6'2" 205lbs

Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

There is no need to worry as sweating is the good sign of health improvement.

Sweating is suggestive of that your fever has subsided.

For sore throat you can take the proper antibiotics. Without antibiotics it will be very difficult to treat the sore throat.

You can do hexidine gargle diluted. This will help clear the throat.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
