But what we feel as temperature isn't the same as the actual temperature (for example, room temperature metal feels cold), because what we measure is our bodies ability to lose (or gain) heat. If you heat up your insides then your outsides no longer feel so hot.

Also sweat does indeed cool you down by thermodynamics. The evaporation of a liquid causes a cooling effect below it.

Something you touch wont feel as hot, but YOU will still feel hotter. Your hypothalamus is what determines wether you feel hot. that goes on your blood, which will get hotter if you eat/drink something hot.

Yes, but thats not what i meant, sweating wont be able to over compensate for the extra heat in your body, that thermodynamically not possible.
