Bronchitis Sign #4: Fever and Chills
A fever or febrile response occurs when the body’s set temperature is higher than normal. This increase can cause a feeling of coldness also known as chills. It also results in muscle contractions that help to produce and conserve heat. In some cases, fever can trigger a febrile seizure especially among young children.
A fever can be seen in various conditions such as infections (viral, bacterial, parasitic), cancer, deep vein thrombosis, vasculitis, and more. Although treatment to reduce fever is usually not required, medications such as paracetamol and NSAIDs can be helpful.
