Chills
Sometimes a fever may cause a person to get chills, even though their body temperature is higher than normal. Chills are commonly described as episodes of shivering, shaking, chattering teeth or goosebumps.
Chills are involuntary and caused by the body relaxing and contracting its muscles in an attempt to produce heat. They're a common sign that the body is trying to regulate its temperature or fight off an illness or infection.2‘Chills: Causes & Treatment.’ Cleveland Clinic, my.clevelandclinic.org/health/symptoms/21476-chills
