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?
In: Biology
When you’re sick, your body might feel cold because it’s trying to fight off the germs. Your brain tells your body to raise its temperature to make it harder for the germs to survive. This is called a fever. But while your body is heating up, you feel cold because your normal body temperature hasn’t caught up yet. It’s like when you first get into a cold swimming pool and you feel cold until your body gets used to the water.
