What Causes Fever And Night Sweats?

My husband is having unexplained fever and night sweats. He has taken Humira for several years. I am so concerned that he may have something serious like lymphoma, but has no other symptoms. No lumps, swelling, weight loss, loss of appetite, nothing else. He has seen his doctor and we are waiting on blood work. Just can t stop worrying. Wondering if fever and night sweats are enough to be worried?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Many more conditions are there which can give rise to fever and night sweats like: diabetes, insipidus, nocturnal angina, nocturnal hypoglycemia, bacterial endocarditis, diabetic autonomic neuropathy, tuberculosis, lymphomas, lung abscess, and others.

So rather than being worried, just wait for the blood reports to come and whatever the diagnosis you have to be ready for the same and keep your morals as high as possible to fight against the situation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Purva Patel
