Hi,I am Dr. Andrew Rynne (Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Could Be The Cause For The Sudden Onset Of Cold And Shivering?
Good evening, Earlier this evening my mother took my father and me to play bingo with her. Usaly she goes by herself thursday nights and me and my father usaly remaine at home. About a year ago my father had fusion spinal surgery with post operation complications with infection etc. He has slowly gotten his walking abilitys and what not back. About 1 1/2 hours into the bingo session he began to shake sniffle and was feeling cold. I walked with him to the outer area and retrieved his sweater from the car. He than requested I return to the final round of bingo while he sat/rested in chair. After bringing him home and my mother putting him in bed she came to my room and let me know she was putting the heat higher because he was claiming of being cold still. She has a ton of blankets on him and feels that he is warm under the blankets yet is still shaking? He is a attention requester from my mom quite often, should she/we be worried or what?You doctors realy suck and are the primary reason for our poor health care. You only primarely care for more.
As per your history, it may be due to viral infection.
For further assessment you may require complete hemogram, peripheral smear for malaria parasites, dengue NS 1, urine analysis after physician consultation.
You may require antibiotics after consultation. Keep your self hydrated.
Continue steam inhalation and Betadine gargle twice a day.
Further treatment mainly depends upon the underlying diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Shyam B. Kale, General & Family Physician
