Is it normal to experience night sweating in crease of elbow, base of neck and behind knee on one side of body during a second herpes outbreak?

Yes: Viral infections are associated with a viral syndrome ( associated symptoms) that often include sweating. Antiviral drugs taken daily can decrease the frequency of the outbreaks and the whole syndrome.
