Brief Answer: Could be the onset of fever. Detailed Answer: Hello Ms XXXX, Thanks for the question. A sudden onset of chills and shivering/shaking could indicate that you might be developing a fever. A sudden rise in the set point in the temperature regulation area of the brain leads to this chills and shaking, it is a mechanism to produce more body heat which is what generally happens at the onset of fever. I suggest you wait it out for half an hour to 1 hour, by then the chills and shivering would stop, as the body temperature increase to the new set point. You can check your temperature to confirm this. In case you need further information I would request you to kindly write back with more details. I hope this answers your question. Wishing you good health and speedy recovery. Regards,

For the fever you can give paracetamol as required. For adults 500 or 650 mg thrice a day would suffice. If the fever persists for more than 3 days, you might need to pay a visit to your family doctor. Thanks again for accepting my answer, it always brightens my day to help patients.
