sweating when you have a fever is ok because your bodies natural cooling mechanism is to sweat. your body turns its natural thermostat up to try and kill the bacteria that are attacking it, this is why you have a fever. and the natural response is you sweat as your brain centers recognise that you are hot and it tries to cool you. I know this sounds as though the body is working against itself but it is how it works due to the fact that the part of the brain that causes the fever and the part that makes you sweat are two diffrent area's in the brain.

Sweating when you have a fever is okay because it is teh bodys way of reducing its heat. Since a fever is an excessive rise in body temperature it is only natural that the body's nervous system cause you to sweat to reduce your heat.

Your body is sweating to try to lower it's internal temperature.
