Does anyone know the reason why we feel cold/ shiver when we have a fever? The body's response should be to cool itself in order to lower the tempature, but yet the opposite happens. Can anyone explain why?

We fever in order to kill the infection in the body - heat kills the infection. If we cooled down, we wouldn't be able to destroy the infection.

raising the body temperature by 1 degrees celsius can incease the bodies efficiency of fighting infection by a half.
