That happens when your body has a fever, and fever is our body's way of killing off the bugs, a high temperature can do that. That's why some doctors don't like you to take medication to lower temperature because fevers can actually be helpful, of course, if it gets too high, brain damage can occur, and that would be disastrous for someone like you!
When the temperature naturally breaks, you are covered in a cold sweat, and it usually means a turn for the good. Most healthy people can fight off many illnesses, and it sounds like you are doing the right things by keeping hydrated. Hope you are feeling better soon!
