Best Answer

it doesn't drop, it increases

--------

Although increased temperature (fever) is a common symptom of sickness, some people do often experience a temperature drop when sick. Certain viruses may cause this reaction. Although this doesn't really explain why, rest assured that a temperature drop when sick is normal for many people.
