10 Symptoms of Influenza
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #2: Chills
Chills are a common symptom of influenza and are directly linked to fevers. Our bodies do a great job of letting us know when we are too hot or too cold. In a fever, the target body temperature increases, so signals tell our body it is below the target temperature, which causes chills.
That is why when we are ill, we will occasionally get chills without even being in cold conditions. Once the target temperature has been met, the chills will subside.
