What are the causes of excessive night sweats around neck and shoulders?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Ziad Akl answered

Fever: Night sweats are often caused by fever in the evening or at night. Sometimes the fever is mild and goes unnoticed, or you may even feel cold or have chills. When the fever breaks you sweat. Take your temperature in the evening.
