Temp Regulation and Night Sweats

I had surgery on my elbow 6 days ago and after being released from the hospital (24 hours post op) I’ve been having issues with temperature regulation. During the day it’s more manageable because I’m awake and can cool myself down without sweating too much, but at night I’m sweating profusely and really not getting much sleep because of it. Hard to sleep when you wake up in a pool of sweat every hour. I’ve been on antibiotics and kicked my low grade fever yesterday, but have only had Tylenol and ibuprofen since discharge. Wondering if anyone has any recommendations.
