Chills
If a person with a boil develops a fever, they may feel hot and shivery. Chills may be a symptom of a boil or a group of boils that are spreading infection. This infection may even be below the skin.2‘Boils.’ Nhs.uk, 17 Oct. 2017, www.nhs.uk/conditions/boils/
A person with a boil should see their doctor if they're having fever, shivers, chills and swollen lymph nodes. If the chills are accompanied by confusion or cold, clammy skin, emergency medical care is necessary. These may be symptoms of sepsis.3‘Symptoms of Sepsis.’ Nhs.uk, 23 Oct. 2017, www.nhs.uk/conditions/sepsis/
