Why Am I Sweating After Taking Antibiotics For Pneumonia?

Hi, I had a very strong flu or infection for 3-4 days. My wife was dx by her doctor with pneumonia and the antibiotic she took seemed to help her in seven hours. I took the same but did not have the same effect. I still have the cough on day six, my fever is gone, but now I am constantly sweating. I wonder if you had any ideas about the sweating and if I should see someone.
Thank you

Thanks to HCM
I can understand your problem

I would like to suggest don't use antibiotics unnecessarily as they may spoil your health ,plz check your BP and SUGAR LEVELS once .ok

don't worry plz undergo once cbp. esr and fever profile ,chest x ray to rule out pneumonia

as fever subsided nothing to worry ,

sweating after post pyrexia is due to medication ,, so plz stop medication
plz take normal diet and plenty of liquids

once reports comes have a consultation woth your doctor ..ok
