After the fever is gone, the evil from the body gradually dispersed, that is, manifested as sweating, at this time is the evil dissipated, the disease gradually improved stage.
2. Evil retreating and positive deficiency: when the fever goes down, the evil qi is gradually dispersed from the body and perspiration continues. The patient’s lung, spleen and qi are weak, the positive qi is weak, and the body’s fluid is unable to be fixed, which leads to a large amount of sweating.
3. Improper medication: If there is a mistake in the consultation process, improper medication may occur. Fever reduction is generally due to the attack of evil qi on the body, the clinic mostly uses antidepressants, which may vary according to the specific disease. However, if the dosage of one of the drugs is too large, it may lead to excessive sweating and loss of fluid.
