Chills

Usually paired with a fever, chills or shivering happens at the onset of infection. The chill is caused when muscles rapidly contract and relax, generating heat when the body is in a colder environment. When you have a fever, you will naturally feel colder than usual, because you are no longer in equilibrium with your surroundings.

If it is unclear whether you have a fever or not, pay attention to the other ways your body can alert you to something wrong. Frequent night sweats and chills can also be a prelude to worsening flu symptoms.
