Ankle Injury, Suffering From Chills, Might Be Sprained Or Broken. Medical Attention Needed?
My husband fell and hurt his ankle. He immediately got chills and I got him comfortable with many blankets and some hot tea. His ankle is either sprained or broken. Can t tell yet. He went to bed waiting until tomorrow to see if he needs to go to urgent care. Is it normal to get such a case of chills? He is 59 years old. YYYY@YYYY

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
It appears that he had a fracture or the sprain of the ankle.With any sort of heavy pain it is possible to have chills and feverish feeling.
I advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis. You may need to have an M.R.I. of the ankle for confirmation.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts,and
protein rich foods for early recovery.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
