Is it normal for a 2-year old to shiver at a temp of 100.1? have been giving him children's tylenol (acetaminophen) all day today. it's middle of night. thanks!

Yes: Children and adults can shiver with a rapid change up or down in temperaature. Tylenol (acetaminophen) dosed at 15mg/kg dosed every 4 hours is a safe and effective way tto help the fever. However, if you chid apear ill or "just doesn't look right" you need to seek medical attention soon.
