How Can Cold Sweats, Weakness And High Temperature Be Treated?
two days ago, my husband had the flu- high temp (102), chills, hot sweating, weak, sudden onset... yesterday feeling some better, no fever, no aches. Last night, cold sweats. Same this a.m. Now, low temp (97.8) and cold sweats. BP was normal while having flu, now 161/89 P 63. Still the flu?

Hello!
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms you described are related to viral infection (flu or cold).
Symptoms like high or low temperature,cough,weakness,sweats,body aches are common.
You don't need to worry .It is a self-limiting condition that can last 1-2 weeks. and no specific treatment is needed.
He need rest,eat healthy foods and drink plenty of fluids.
He will feel better day after day, just need some time.
Wish him quick and complete recovery.
Take care.
