Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
There are several conditions that cause night sweating they may be:
*Infectious disease like tuberculosis or HIV.
*certain cancers such non hodgkin lymphoma or hodgkin lymphoma.
*certain medications such advil, aspirin, Paracetamol, antidepressants etc.
* hyperthyroidism
*hypoglycaemia etc
You should do a total blood count first and a blood chemistry to help me through diagnosis.
You can send me the results
