What causes fever with chills and shivering?
Patient: My 2 yr old isnt feeling well. Fever / temp on and off. Giving tylenol to keep it down. She says she s cold, takes chills & shivers. She acts ok otherwise with playing & smiling. She seems a little shaky at times. Her head is warm, her temples, and under arms. At times her skin gets pink. . . It looks like shes swollen at the temples but not sure. Littlen puffiness in fact maybe. What can I do? Doctor: Which part of the globe do you belong to?Is her nose and throat clear? How are her bowel movements?In tropical areas this may be an initial presentation of Malaria.In any case tylenol only brings down fever for few hours. If she as fever for a few days, it is advisable to take her to a medical person/doctor.
