Everything is relative. If you have a fever your brain sets your core temperature higher than normal so your brain makes your body work harder to get hotter this is why you feel cold. Feeling cold warms us up by shivering. Where as the temperature of hot water is environmental and your body will not feel cold by how it raises your body temperature if will do the opposite and work to cool you down.
