What Is The Cause For Shivering After Recovering From Pneumonia?
my husband had pneumonia in july. since then his fever spikes every few days and he gets the shakes really bad. we give him tylenol and usually within 30 minutes he starts calming down and everything goes back to normal. this leaves him feeling extremely weak. what could be causing this?
