Hi @dr4bama - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.

Sweating does seem to be a pretty common side effect of COVID-19, unfortunately. I know it can get very uncomfortable throughout the day!
Others have discussed ongoing fevers with sweating as a side effect on this discussion post, you may find it helpful to read through:
- Fevers weeks after COVID: Is this common with long COVID? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/fevers-weeks-after-covid/

Have you continued to have a fever at all in your recovery? Have any other symptoms continued?

I am sweating a lot as well. First symptoms were felt on Friday, July 15th. Sweating was really bad today.

Hello— I’ve now had Covid twice. (immunocompromised: — Lupus, PsA, AI Pancreatitis/EPI , Asthma). I’m considered a Long Covid patient— contracted the first case early 2020 & still have some ongoing issues. One thing that doesn’t get better is the body temp disregulation. I get sudden onset extreme heat intolerance. I get no warning. It happens periodically & day/night. It’s to the point that it’s so profound I sometimes have to quickly remove my clothing. But what’s absolutely terrible is the profound night sweats. This has been going on for over 14 months now. It wakes me up several times a night. Sometimes it’s my entire body—literally head to toe. I wake up drenched in sweat, and my body is hot to the touch. Even this past winter—when the night temps get to 20•, I turned the heat off, opened my bedroom window, had light covers on. No relief. It’s unbearable. Doctors here (NM) have performed so many tests. They keep saying that it’s not related to female hormonal changes & no obvious signs of Thyroid disease . (I have had significant vascular & neurological changes since Covid diagnoses.) They can’t figure it out. One suggested that perhaps it’s related to Long Covid. I’m just exasperated & need answers

My husband was diagnosed with covid Dec. 3rd 2020. Hospitalized and discharged after a week. At present time, he still deals with daily fevers and sweating along with many other symptoms.

Profuse sweating - I haven't found it listed as a side effect anywhere. Do I have bouts of profuse sweating because I have/had a fever? My temp usually runs around 97.6.

Post covid I still get the sweats. Really bad sometimes. It will just hit me randomly no matter what I'm doing. Of course afterwards then I'm freezing 🥶

I’ve had constant sweats at night from Covid. They are gradually decreasing.

I don't have a fever but I continually break out in a cold sweat. I'm hot, then I'm cold. But the worst is this horrid cough I can't seem to get rid of. Had it for a month now.

I never had a fever, despite three weeks of hospitalization. Most of my symptoms are gone. Sometimes the smell in my nose returns with a different odor, but just for a short while. Sweating is a real problem. Now I have a swollen lower face, and lumps above my clavicle. MRI says it's swollen buccal glands. I have an appointment with a specialist later this month. The Cleveland Clinic has a very good article on Salivary Glands, and the swelling could be caused by many things. All the doctors I saw had no idea why the swelling occurred. One told me that liposuction was the only thing to get rid of the swelling. This is also attributed to long covid. I have to wonder if different symptoms are going to continually arise.
I contacted the Mayo Clinic last week and have not heard back from them.

I have had severe sweating, hyperhydrosis, for over 2 years after getting my first 2 covid shots. I am bascially sweating 24/7 and the doctors can do nothing about it. Any suggestions ???

No
