Answer 1

When chills occur more so in a normal temperature it is an indication that one is sick. One should not wear warm clothing or blankets, as this can raise the body temperatures

If your body temperature falls below the normal range, even by just a few degrees for instance by 1.5 degrees, you have a condition known as hypothermia. This condition can be dangerous, especially the farther your body temperature falls. This means that if your temperature is below 96 degrees, you should seek medical care immediately.
