Brief Answer:
Considerations
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for sending the question.
The symptoms of chills and sweating could simply reflect a metabolic adjustment of your body related to temperature fluctuation.
However, I do want you to be aware of potential symptoms of an active infection. This would include increased urinary frequency, cough, nasal or sinus congestion, excessive fatigue or additional chills and or sweats.
If you develop any of these additional symptoms, I would suggest that you contact your primary care doctor or report to your local urgent care or emergency room for immediate evaluation.
Otherwise, I would recommend that you maintain excellent hydration and rest. If any additional symptoms develop please feel free to contact us again at any time.
Thanks again for sending the question.
Sincerely,
