The body tries to maintain the core temperature within a range. When there is fever the blood vessels dilate and let water evaporate so that excess heat is removed from the body.

If fever breaks are you still contagious?

It may do, especially if the fever is due to an infectious illness. As a fever rises, the patient feels very cold and wants lots of blankets. As the fever breaks, the patient begins to sweat and complains of feeling hot. The purpose of a fever is to help the body to fight the infecting germs. Germs like ordinary body temperatures and die off when the temperature goes up. It may take several fever cycles for the germs to be overcome and the patient's health to return to normal. During the fever cycle, the patient must have lots of extra fluids to drink, but it isn't too important that they eat, as long as they are drinking enough. You know if the patient is having enough fluids if their urine is a light straw colour. If the urine is dark, they need to be pushed to drink more. This is especially important in babies, children and the elderly. There are other causes of fevers other than infectious illnesses, and they include certain cancers and heat prostration.

When you have a fever why dont you sweat?

The purpose of a fever is to raise your body temperature to make your interior environment inhospitable to pathogens that are designed to thrive in your normal body temperature. Sweating is the body's cooling mechanism. Therefore, when you have a fever, your body purposely inhibits sweating to maintain that heat.

Why do you sweat when your fever breaks?

First of all we should find an answer to why we get fever in the first place. One condition which causes fever or raised temperature is an infection disease process. It has been observed that deliberately raising body temperatures for example in saunas and steam baths causes an increase in white blood cells. White blood cells defend the body against invading organisms like bacteria and viruses. The normal core body temperature is 98.6 deg. F or 37 deg. C. So perhaps when the body senses invasion by the immune system it sets its own core temperature above normal (fever) in order to effect an increase in the number of white cells which in turn fight the invading organisms. When the fight is won or appears to be won the body sets the temperature through the hypothalamus back to its normal (98.6 deg F) or (37.0 deg. C) temperature. In the process the hot fluid (sweat) - which is like the water in a car rediater has to come out of the body. When the hot water comes out it evaporates from the body surface and further cools the body surface.
