Most of the time when I get sick, my body temperature goes up, which make me feel hot/burning up obviously, but why does sometime I feel cold and even have cold sweat?

Your nervous system is used to your skin being a certain temperature to be able to gauge the temperature of things around you, including the air. When you have a fever your skin temperature goes up and so you’re getting a falsely high “normal”, and ambient temperatures now feel artificially colder in comparison.
