Excessive Sweating
Patients with osteomyelitis or a bone infection may experience excessive sweating along with fever. Nighttime sweats may cause a person to wake up prematurely and can be bad enough to soak through sheets and blankets.
Excessive sweating is a natural response and can be a symptom of several conditions, not only infections. Individuals experiencing this symptom should schedule an appointment with their primary care doctor to determine the underlying cause.
