What is the reason for sweating when a child has a fever?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is common for babies to sweat excessively after a high fever subsides. This is because oral fever-reducing medications can cause sweating. Make sure to drink more water for your baby. Drinking more water will usually help the baby's body temperature return to normal within about 24 hours, and there will be no aftereffects. Please don't worry. Continue to give your baby oral anti-inflammatory medication and cold/fever-reducing medication.
