Fever is the most common clinical manifestation in patients with novel coronavirus pneumonia. The degree of fever varies from high to low, and in general, patients tend to have chills when they start to develop fever, but chills are not common. After the fever reaches a certain peak, patients may show signs of receding sweats, or when the fever has not yet reached its peak, i.e., above 38.5°C, the doctor may give the patient antipyretic drugs. The patient will show signs of receding sweats. So as the fever progresses to reach its peak and then recede the patient may show sweating, or after the use of antipyretic drugs, the patient may show sweating. For this group of people with high fever who sweat more, they need to pay special attention to fluid supplementation and drink light saline to ensure water-electrolyte balance to avoid dehydration due to fever.
