My wife has a fever but shivering what is wrong?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Natural response: Shivering and goosebumps are two of the body's natural mechanisms for elevating temperature or causing fever. As long as the fever isn't excessive (above 103 or so) it is one of the best defenses against fighting infections.
