What Causes Profuse Sweating While On Amoxicillin And Steroids?

My 3 yr old had a high temp all weekend and up to 103.7 today. He had Advil and the fever broke. Took him to clinic and they gave him amoxicillin and steroids. His temp is now 97 and he is sweating, was sweaty prior to steroid and antibiotic. What would cause this please? He has a terrible cough. Has clear nasal drainage

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It is most likely that the illness was the initial cause of the sweating. It will resolve when the medicines are completed and the illness resolved.

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