Brief Answer:
I don't feel its concerning...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Besides the details in the medical history and your query above, I do not have any other information here. However based on what you wrote on the medical history it seems to be an episode of shivering / rigors secondary to her chills. I assume she did not pass out, bit her tongue or passed stools / urine involuntarily during the episode.

If she is comfortable and is not shivering any more, I am not concerned. Give her warm fluids.

I would get her evaluated if she has recurrence and if she develops fever.

Hope this helped. Let me know if you need clarifications.

Regards
