Our bodies don’t actually feel temperature — we feel energy flowing into, or out of, our bodies.
Energy flow is dependent on a lot of things, like material properties — this is why metal feels colder than wood, even though they’re the same temperature (it’s more conductive so it pulls energy out of you faster.)
When you have a fever there’s a bigger temperature difference between you and the air — which means more energy is leaving your body. Also you might be sweating — and sweating makes energy leave your body faster as well
