Why does breaking a sweat during a fever usually a sign that you’ve successfully gotten over it?
In: Biology
Well, it’s not strictly.
But in some circumstances, your body is desperately trying to INCREASE your body temp in order to maintain the fever. This makes you shiver and feel cold and want to wrap up with blankets.
When suddenly, you feel hot and gross and sweaty, it’s your body “turning off” the fever state and you’re going to gradually cool off to your normal body temp.
