What Causes Chills At Night?

I wake up every night after one hour of sleeping freezing cold. Even with 3 blankets sweat pants and a hoody. It takes about 2 to 3 hours to warm back up enough to go back to sleep. This has been going on for 2 months. ever since I had a broken pelvis and was on pain killers. The doctor said it will pass.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have chills at night which seems to be viral fever or flu. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles. You should take anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to prevent fever and body-ache. Drink plenty of fluids, have proper rest. Your symptoms will resolve in 3-4 days. Take analgesic such as Flexon and take light diet. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit general physician once and get it examined and start treatment after proper examination and prescription. Go for blood tests such as W.B.C count as well as increased count will indicate infection in body.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
