Posted on Fri, 3 Feb 2017
Question: my wife has constant sweating during the night, 3-4x. On November 30 she had shoulder surgery and 2 weeks later she began with the sweating. She is currently taking CIPRO, Amaxicillin (sp), KEYFLEX, and RESTORAL, are any of these related to her sweating?

Brief Answer:
Why was she prescribed these medications?

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

These drugs are actually used in treating infections. How soon after taking these medications would these symptoms develop? Can you also report her temperatures during these episodes? Did she have an infection following the surgery? For how long has she been on these medications?

IN all, I will need these additional details in order to be able to provide a more comprehensive and insightful response to you. Let me hear back from you at your earliest convenience.
