What Causes Excessive Sweating After A Tonsillectomy?

My 9 yr old son has had a tonsillectomy on Thursday, today he has not been well, no appetite and lethargic, temperature not really high peeked at 37.5, but down to just below 37. He has gone to bed and is asleep but sweating quite a lot, is that a problem or concern?

The sweating is probably unrelated and not a cause of concern. It is probably due to increased humidity. You need not worry. Just maintain a comfortable airy environment and things should be fine.
