Chills
When a person feels cold for no apparent reason, they're likely experiencing chills. Besides feeling cold, an individual may experience rhythmic muscle contractions and shivers. Being in a cold environment can also cause chills.
Chills can also develop due to a response to certain bacterial or viral infections that cause fever, such as flu or strep throat. Over-the-counter medications, such as aspirin, ibuprofen and acetaminophen, can help lower fever and fight chills.
