It doesn’t seem like a huge difference to me but even a 1 degree increase of body temp can make you so tired and have fever. Why is that?

Our body is constantly working to achieve homeostasis. Basically the balance where we exist at the perfect middle ground.

If your internal temp increases due to a virus or whatever then your body instantly begins to fight to return to the normal 98.1 or whatever temp your body stays at. One way to do that is with a fever. This extra work causes you to be tired. You’re not actively doing anything but your body is working overtime inside.
