Symptom #4: Excess Sweating
Humans can boast the ability to perspire, which is an extremely valuable asset as it helps us to regulate our body temperature. As moisture in the skin evaporates, it takes heat away with it, helping to cool our bodies when we become too hot. If you are sweating too much, though, it may be a result of an illness.
When we have typhoid fever, our immune system will raise our body temperature in order to make the body an inhospitable place for pathogens. The body temperature will be adjusted up and down throughout the day, meaning there will be periods when our bodies are too hot and need to be cooled. This means sweating, so somebody with typhoid fever can expect to perspire a great deal.
