Brief Answer: It seems like a side-effect Detailed Answer: Hi Thanks for posting your query on HealthcareMagic. She is experiencing the side effect of the medicine. It should go away in few hours. If shivering gets worse or if she experiences other symptoms like stomach pain, vomiting, diarrhea, rash, hyperactivity, drowsiness etc then you will need to take her to emergency room. You have given the medicine in excess. The dose should have been 2.5 to 4 ml at a time depending on the severity of the infection. The more the dose the higher the shivering. You need to give all medicines to your kid under medical supervision. Self-medication to kids is not advised. Hope it helps. D Vaishalee
