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:

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

I'm usually a very "cold natured" person but when I had Covid this last time wearing anything more than undergarments made me feel like I was wearing a full length fur coat in the summer sun.

I have had the profuse sweating for over a year now many times a day. I have not been sick in any other way. I can’t tell when it’s going to come on. It’s exhausting and very embarrassing. I don’t have any fever with any fever with it. I was not very sick at all with Covid when I had it last time it was after that time I had Covid, but it started.

I had covid-19 only 4 weeks ago in early Sept. 2024. Since I have recovered, I still sweat profusely whenever I exert myself a bit. My hair gets soaking wet, I feel nauseous, dizzy, weak and need to sit down for fear of fainting. I do not have a fever. I may use 3 or 4 tissues just to absorb some of the sweat as it pours down my face and wets my glasses. Will this ease up and go away. If I do a liver cleanse will that help?

Hello,
I have posed before about the sweating, but am now seeing more people with the same condition. Mine did not start right after my bout with covid, and unfortunately I did not document all of the issues that have arisen since then.
Having seen a holistic doctor, some of the symptoms have gone away, but the sweating persists. I tried hormone therapy, and since I had none when tested, I was hopeful the sweating would end. But no, it's still here.
I live in Florida, so I spend most of my time indoors. but even then, doing any home activity brings the water flowing. I take antidepressants and this has controlled the hot flashes to a great extent, but not the sweating. I keep hoping this will go away in time.
