I take a beta blocker and bp medication but it had never caused chills, the chills started with my cold 5 -6 days ago but now i have no symptoms ,temp is normal no sneezing maybe a tiny tiny feeling in my chest but no coughing , so you think its residual from the cold and just needs a few more days? Im not tired,but i never get chills

Brief Answer:
I do think so

Detailed Answer:
Hi sir.

I do feel that this could be residual and think it needs a few more days, especially as you were not on any medications to treat your cold. Please continue with at least a paracetamol twice a day for a few days and give your body some time to recover.

Best wishes.
