Question

When someone has fever the body’s temperature is increased abnormally. This increases metabolic activities in the body, resulting in the production of more heat and further increasing the body’s temperature. Explain why the patient still feels very cold and even in some cases, shivers when there is so much heat in the body.

Answer 1

Explanation:

When we shiver, but we don't feel cold , it could be a sign that our body is starting to fight off a viral or bacterial infection. Just as shivering is our body's way of warming up on a chilly day, shivering can also heat up our body enough to kill a bachteria or virus that has invaded our system.

When patient still feels very cold, when there is so much heat in the body. This can result in chills. This response can happen in any type of weather but may be more likely to occur in very cold or very hot temperatures;In hot temperature , heat exhaustion and dehydration may cause this reaction . In cold temperature, hypothermia and dehydration may be the cause.
