My husband is 81 and has chills/shaking with a 100.4 fever, he fell from a 13 ladder 1yr ago and had bleeding of the brain. recovered but still gets headaches and at time forgets words. Do I cover him or let him shiver? I m 80 with RA so its hard to help him walk to the bathroom. Urinating more often.

Hello!

My name is Dr. Aida and I am glad to attend you on Healthcaremagic!

Your husband seems to be having an infection, probably an urinary tract infection as he is urinating more often.
Coming to this point, I would recommend giving him Tylenol or Ibuprofen to help him against the fever.
It is also necessary going to the ER for a physical exam, a complete blood count, PCR and a urine analysis. He may need to start antibiotics.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Kind regards!
