Increased Sweating
Because fevers cause an increase in body temperature, a common symptom is also sweating. The body activates its sweat glands in an attempt to cool itself down naturally. Night sweats, which are episodes of excessive nighttime sweating that may leave bedding and pajamas drenched, also tend to occur during a fever.
A period of sweating may be a sign that the fever is breaking, and the body is almost back to normal.
