Sweating profusely all over the body with a cold is a normal reaction of the thermoregulatory center. It is normal to sweat profusely all over the body when you have a cold, because when the patient has a cold, the body’s resistance is very low and the body is very weak, which can easily cause profuse sweating. When there is a viral infection in the organism during a cold, a fever may occur. At this time the body will regulate the body temperature by sweating to bring it back to normal. Sweating profusely all over the body with a cold is recommended for prompt medical attention. It is important to note that sweating after a cold and excessive loss of sweat can lead to loss of body water and even some electrolytes. Therefore, it is necessary to drink water to replenish the body’s water, along with light salt water to replenish electrolytes.
