Is it normal for someone with throat infection to get a feeling of fever but not if i asked someone to touch me they said i do not have fever. but i feel like some hot flashes from my body. thank you!
When the body develops a fever, it is trying to change itself to be a worse host for the infecting bacteria or virus. The body does this by resetting its thermostat in the brain to allow the body to get hotter than it normally does. To do this, the body must make more heat. Often when someone is developing a fever they begin to shiver and feel very cold (called getting the chills). This often occurs even when the room is not cold at all. The person will shiver and often get under a blanket. The combination of these causes the fever. Now when you get cold (without an infection that can cause the fever), you body will shiver as well. This time it is to make heat and keep a normal body temperature in contrast to a higher than normal body temperature. When you get a cold (as in an upper respiratory tract infection), the infection itself can cause you to feel crummy and you may even run a slightly higher temperature than normal, but not a fever. This is also a normal reaction. The way you feel is just your body working to fight the infection.
