HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that he may have an infection. Chills can accompany fever and this may be the reason he is feeling cold. Infection can also cause increased drowsiness and therefore his problem in staying awake.
He should go to his doctor for assessment as soon as possible so that treatment can be initiated.
I hope this helps
