DH theory on fevers - is he right

[Beach Mama]

AFAIK, that is because of the temperature of her body relative to the air around her. If she's really hot, it makes the air, the room, seem colder by comparison.

That makes sense because although it was warm (21 as it always is) it would feel cold to her and she had goosebumps and was shivery poor darling.

the old cure for a fever was a glass of scotch with hot water and a spoon of sugar/honey/or lemonade, you would jump into bed, sweat your box off and wake in the morning feeling on top of the world. I tried it once and woke in the morning feeling heaps better...my grandmother recommended it too.
