Question 1

can pain cause fever and chills?

Accepted Answer

not really but can b: Pain does not cause chills and fever but it can be associated together due to an underlying cause like infection. So get yourself checked for infection? Like, in urine.

Question 2

why do i feel chills when i have a fever?

Accepted Answer

Vascular constrictio: When your body wants to mount a fever, it constricts blood vessels in the skin to shunt blood to the internal organs, this makes your skin colder and gives you the chills.

Question 3

what to do if i have fever and chills out of nowhere?

Accepted Answer

Thermostat Setting: Fever is when you body's thermostat is set higher than normal.   When the thermostat in your house is raised, the heat goes on to increase the temperature.  "Chills" is how your body generates heat - basically your muscles produce that extra heat. The  "Cytokines" released by your body in response to any infection appear to regulate this thermostat. BTW  "Fever Breaks" when you sweat to cool down.

Question 4

is it possible for you to have chills without a fever?

Accepted Answer

Chills, no fever: Certainly chills can occur without a fever, although it's not that common. I've seen this happen in my elderly folks especially - those who are 'weakened' or immunocompromised may have an abnormal immune response. Usually when chills occur, we will pile on blankets or start shivering to make a temp come up. That doesn't always happen though. Good to pay attention to a patient's symptoms however.

Question 5

i have a fever of 100.3 and chills, but no other symptoms.

Accepted Answer

Low grade: viral infection. Use Tylenol (acetaminophen) as needed every 4-6 hrs and use zinc lozenges ( ColdEze) every 3-4 hours. Drink lots of fluids including tea with honey and chicken soup.

Question 6

how to treat chills & fever?

Accepted Answer

Supportive care: Drink plenty of fluid to stay hydrated. Take a warm bath with epsom salts added. Take Ibuprofen 400-600mg every 6 hours as needed. Rest. See a physician if symptoms have not subsided with these measures.

Question 7

is a taking a hot shower good for a fever and chills?

Accepted Answer

Not bad: A shower will not help cure your infection, but if it makes you feel better, by all means shower.   It will not make you any worse.

Question 8

i wake up at night with intense chills. no fever. why?

Accepted Answer

Please see below: There are so many reason to this but most common at your age is thyroid problems. Please check thyroid panels and cbc.

Question 9

what are diagnoses for feeling a bit nauseous with chills and a fever?

Accepted Answer

Flu like symptoms: Nausea, fever and chills may represent a flu-like illness or vural illness.

Question 10

i am displaying fever, chills, and excessive peeeing, do i have diabetes?

Accepted Answer

Other possibilites: While excessive urination is a symptom of diabetes, depending on how long these symptoms have been going on, you may have a bladder infection or another infection. Fever and chills are not usually symptoms of diabetes.
