What Causes Chills Along With Fever And Dry Heaves?
One week ago I started having uncontrollable chills, leading to fever (101-103) then dry heaves the next 2 days same. Went to my doctor Fri late eve diagnosed norovirsus gastroenteristis Not much fever lately and have had the chills later at night, seemed when I get out of bed and exercise or keep active chills go away sooner
Cause of chills with fever is the body’s response to viral infection through inflammation and heaves are a secondary manifestation of the same. Usually, it subsides within 48 hours of commencing the treatment. Measures for faster recovery: • Continue medicines as per doctor advice • Plenty of liquids by mouth to maintain water levels in the body • Diet should not contain much of fat • Avoid alcohol or other beverages and any kind of tobacco • Maintain room temperature accordingly
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
