What should I do if I have chills all over my body?

The first thing to do is to find the cause of the disease, make a clear diagnosis, and then carry out symptomatic treatment. Common causes include infection, hypoglycemia, environmental factors, etc. Treatment includes medication and general therapy.
1. Infection: Usually, viral or bacterial infections will lead to abnormalities in the thermoregulatory center and metabolism of the human body, thus causing the symptom of chills. It is necessary to clarify the site of infection and pathogenic bacteria, and then choose sensitive antibiotics and drugs for treatment, commonly used drugs include amoxicillin, cefixime and so on.
2. Hypoglycemia: If for some reason the blood sugar drops sharply, thus below the normal range, it will also affect the body temperature regulation center and metabolic function, resulting in symptoms of chills. You can take glucose water or sugary food for treatment, and if necessary, follow the doctor’s advice to choose glucagon and other drugs.
3. Environmental factors: If you are in a cold environment for a long time, you may experience chills. It is recommended to get out of the cold environment in time and take more clothes to keep warm. At the same time, not drying the sweat after exercise may also lead to chills. It is recommended to wipe off sweat and change sweat-soaked clothes after exercise.
If the chills do not improve, or if other discomforts occur, you should consult a doctor and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment and medication.
