Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 78 year old father just told me this happened a few weeks ago and then this morning. He said last night in bed, he started shivering and couldn t get warm. Thin this morning he started perspiring to the point his shirt collar got wet. What could this be?
Hi, from history it seems that he might be having some infection causing this problem. He might be having urinary tract infection, prostate problem or chronic malaria. go for complete blood checking and urine check up. After report go for treatment accordingly. Ok and take care.
