A fever increases your heart rate, as do some cold medicines.  But, you need to check your pulse for one full minute.  If it is fast, but regular, it is most likely due to your cold/medicine.  If it is irregular (very fast, then slow or "skipping" beats) you need to go to the ER.  You could be in atrial fibrillation or super ventricular tachycardia.

Why would you seek answers from here?  This is definitely a condition requiring immediate medical attention.  Infections can lead to multi-system infections.  If it is severe and left untreated, it could lead to the loss of your foot, infection in your blood stream, need I go on?  If insurance or finances are an issue, go to the ER of your local hospital, they can direct you to services for medical assistance to pay the bill.  \nThe longer you wait, the more serious this issue will become for you.  It isn't going to go away on its own.

you have a condition known as Chilblains   \n  \n\nChilblains are patches of red, swollen and itchy skin, believed to be caused by a combination of cold weather and poor circulation. The toes are particularly vulnerable, but other extremities that can develop chilblains include fingers, earlobes and the nose. Tight shoes can also contribute by irritating and pressing on the skin of the toes, especially the little toe. Despite the discomfort, chilblains don’t cause any permanent damage to tissue. Not everyone exposed to cold and damp conditions will develop chilblains, which leads some researchers to believe that those who do are overly sensitive to changes in weather and temperature. The elderly, sedentary, teenagers and people with medical conditions (such as anaemia) are most susceptible.\n\nSymptoms\nThe little toe is more likely to develop chilblains than the other toes. Common symptoms include: \n\nA burning sensation on the skin \nRed, swollen patches \nIntense itching \nDry skin, leading to splits and cracks \nPossible secondary infection \nUlceration, in severe cases.\nThe circulation responds to temperature\nAlthough the exact cause of chilblains remains unknown, it is thought to be associated with the body’s reaction to cold weather. The body’s circulatory system comprises arteries, veins and capillaries that shunt blood to every cell. The circulatory system is sensitive to temperature. In hot conditions, the body expands blood vessels close to the skin so that excess heat can be lost to the air, thereby cooling the body. In cold weather, these blood vessels constrict to conserve body heat. This constriction can starve extremities - such as the toes - of blood and warmth, if your peripheral circulation is sluggish. \n\nAbrupt temperature changes \nThe symptoms of chilblains are intensified with sudden temperature changes - for example, entering a warm house after being outside in the cold. Similarly, heating cold feet too quickly, by propping them next to a heater or using a hot water bottle, will also exacerbate the condition. It is better to concentrate on warming your whole body instead.\n\nTreating chilblains at home\nSuggestions for treating chilblains at home include: \nResist the urge to scratch, as this will further damage the skin. \nUse calamine lotion or witch hazel to soothe the itching. Your chemist may also supply a suitable product. \nLanolin or similar, rubbed into the feet, will help retain body heat. \nWear woollen or cotton socks. \nKeep your whole body warm. \nGentle exercise will improve circulation to your feet.\nPrevention tips\nKeeping your entire body warm at all times is the key to preventing chilblains. Suggestions include: \nAvoid long periods of exposure to cold or damp weather. \nWear several layers of clothing, which trap body heat more efficiently than one bulky layer. \nWear tights under trousers. \nMake sure your shoes are comfortable and don’t squeeze your toes. \nDry feet thoroughly after showering or bathing. \nUse woollen or cotton socks to allow your feet to ‘breathe’. \nHave some gentle exercise, like walking, every day to improve peripheral circulation. \nRegularly pamper and condition the skin of your feet with home pedicures. \nSee a podiatrist for regular professional treatments.\nProfessional treatment\nSevere, ulcerating or recurring chilblains need professional attention. A qualified podiatrist can treat your chilblains and offer advice on prevention. Your doctor can also prescribe a corticosteroid ointment or cream. If you suffer from severe and recurring chilblains, your doctor may prescribe a preventive drug. If you have a pre-existing condition, such as diabetes, you must see your doctor to check the circulation in the affected area without delay. \n\nWhere to get help \nYour doctor \nPodiatrist.\nThings to remember \nChilblains are patches of red, swollen and itchy skin, thought to be caused by a combination of cold weather and poor circulation. \nExtrem

your feet are the further est away from your heart, it takes longer for the blood flow to get to the tip of your toes and back to your heart, also your feet are low to the ground 99.9% of the time, cant warm if they are in use, wear socks that are cotton, helps trap the heat in ,,,,some times it is do to poor circulation , blood flow....maybe try to talk to your doctor, mite be a flimps, but might be a health problem.

IT could be an infection of some type. There are also diseases that cause fevers, such as lupus. Also it could be the heat. I know in the summer time I run a low grade fever, it's pretty normal for me. I did talk to a doctor about it. \n\nSeeing a doctor is advisable. ;0)

It's not REALLY a fever.  Chances are, you were sleeping under the covers.  They in turn, conserve your body heat so when you wake up, you're hot.  I usually wake up sweating.  Why then is it just your head?  I dunno.  The head is where most of your body heat is lost when it's cold out if you don't wear a hat.  Put on a hat and your toes actually warm up.

You sweat. \n\nYour dog pants. \n\nYou can buy commercial evaporative coolers. \n\nKids cool off in the summer by running through a sprinkler. \n\nPut a cold compress on your head and feel it cooling your fever.

If the fever is the only problem you're having, as long as it's not more than 103F (orally), you're probably OK.  If you have a regular doctor, you might call and let them know what your temperature is--they might want to see you anyway.\n\nHere's a link from Yahoo! Health on fever:

Are you sick? It could be a fever. I have had that happen to me.

May be a sign of fever?

You could raise your internal temperature by dressing in heavy clothes, but your internal thermometer will remain normal - and you will sweat in an effort to maintain a normal temp.  \n\nOn the other hand when you are ill your body resets its temperature (thought to be a defensive mechanism to help fight infection several ways).  In that case you can bundle up and sometimes are still feeling chilled.  What happens when you break a fever...you sweat, cooling your body, bringing it back to normal temp.

This can happen normally if you are cold and a chill runs through you. Sometimes it's just something spontaneous even if you aren't cold. But if it's somethign that happens all the time, I don't know what it could be.

I've never had a fever, but I have had chills after a marathon.  While you're running the race, you're body is generating heat.  If it's a slightly chilly day, then when you finish, your body has a lot of sweat on it, which quickly cools and can gives you chills.  If you're not careful after wards, you could experience hypothermia due to the quick heat loss.  Make sure you immediately put your sweats back on, as soon as you finish, or have someway to get warm.  I got the chills last year, after finishing a marathon (it was cool, and I didn't get my sweats on right after finishing).  This year, just barely after I finished, I put my sweats on, and never experienced the chills (and it was just as chilly as last year).\n\nI hope your brother is feeling better by now, and congratulate him on finishing his marathon!

This is caused by damage to the blood vessels, as feet are the furthest away from the heart it is hard enough anyway, without blood vessels being damaged.  If blood isn't circulating it's like your feet have gone dead or asleep and you wont feel much.  Of course this can be a problem if the feet are starved of a blood supply for too long!

yes, and also the water..possibly lowered your resistance to illness. plus heat fever happens...drink more water.
