What causes shivering, rash on chest and hotness?
Patient: My son has just woken up shivering but saying he's hot.  His temprature is normal but he does feel hot on his body.  He's been ill for the last few days.  It started with a cough and then a rash appeared on his chest (this disappeared under a glass) the rash has gone now.  Should I worry about the shilvering when hot? Doctor: HI, thanks for using healthcare magicThis would be chills. Chills can often accompany a fever so this is not unusual.He needs to keep as cool as possible. With chills, persons can sometimes have the urge to wrap up but this would further increase his temperature.The use of paracetamol should help the fever. I hope this helps
