What Causes Persistent Night Sweats When Diagnosed With Flu?
Question: I have had flu symptoms for the last 4 days and bad night sweats for 3 nights. should I be worried about the night sweats or do you think it is because I am fighting off this virus?
Brief Answer:
No need to worry...
Detailed Answer:
Dear Ms, night sweating associated with flu is common and doesn't require worrying.
but if you have fever then you should take ibuprofen tablets 200 mg every 8 hours .
if you have sore throats then drink plenty of warm fluids and throat lozengens
if fever persists more than 3 days then you may need antibiotics.
