When one does a strenuous activity, the body heats up and to cool off one sweats. When one is running a fever, one’s body does not cool off on it’s own in a similar manner. Why is that?

When exercising, there’s usually airflow around, and it’s the air that moves the water droplets and heat away from your body.

When you have a fever, you’re usually in bed or stationary, so the sweat just sits there and doesn’t help as much
