Brief Answer:
Get done blood report like Complete blood count (CBC) to rule out infection

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Cold sweats are commonly seen with infection. So better to first get done complete blood count (CBC). CBC will tell you if infection is there.
Another cause is hypoxia (low oxygen saturation).
So also monitor your oxygen saturation if it is low then you will need oxygen supplements.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
