ELI5: Why is it when our body experiences moments of stress, sicknesses in the body seem to momentarily disappear?

For example, I had a fever, then an earthquake hit, suddenly I had no fever for a while.

The symptoms are caused by your body, not the disease. Your body raises your temperature to kill whatever is causing you to be sick because that’s better than the damage that would otherwise be dealt. In times of stress, sickness is less important than your immediate survival and so the body focuses on getting tf out of there rather than fighting the sickness.
