When you're sick, your body fights the germs by raising your temperature, and that makes you shiver. Shivering helps warm you up so your body can better fight off the sickness. It’s like wearing a blanket when it's cold outside.
Examples
- You get chills when you’re sick, just like you feel cold before your body warms up.
- It's like your body is trying to make a fire inside you by shivering.
- Chills are your body's way of preparing for the heat of a fever.
