Why do we feel cold when we have fever

Just doesn’t make sense
Our temperature is higher
We should feel hot (IMO) 🤷‍♂️

Edit 1: With that why do we feel so weak and tired when sick/have a fever

Humans are the best animal at getting rid of heat, all we need to do is take off our clothes, animals with fur can’t do that. When you have a fever, that’s your body trying to make itself so hot that whatever is attacking you can’t survive. As you get a fever, if you felt hot, you would take steps to get cooler, like throwing off your blankets, or taking your shirt off. This would stop the fever, which isn’t what your body wants. By making you feel cold, you stay in bed with the blanket on you, making the fever more effective at doing its job.
