If you do not have fever and have not lost weight, I would not be concerned. Reduce the amount of covers and may be use a fan in the room. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
