What Causes Cold And Hot Sweats In The Night?

Hi, I'm a 21 year old female, active healthy lifestyle, medical history includes thallasemia, ostomalitis and recurrent patellar dislocations but none of these limit my daily activities. I had an appendectomy on Wednesday just gone and have been home since Thursday evening, the surgery went well and I am a lot more mobile these last two days with little pain in my abdomen other than when I cough and laugh. However, I've been very lethargic and having intense cold sweat at night to the point I have to change the blankets etc in the middle of the night, no fever as such but just feeling hot and cold and sweating. Does this mean anything I should worry about or just more bed rest?

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Not to worry. Possibly medication induced, as you are already on painkillers which also have anti-pyretic effect.
2. Continue your active life.
3. Take rest. Be mobile soon will affect the wound healing and may weaken the wound, resulting in hernia.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
