15. Chills: The Uncomfortable Sensation of Adenovirus Infection
Chills are a common symptom of adenovirus infection, often accompanying fever as the body tries to regulate its temperature. Chills can cause shivering, cold sensations, and goosebumps, and can be uncomfortable or distressing.
To help manage chills caused by adenovirus infection, stay warm by wearing layers and using blankets or heating pads. Over-the-counter medications such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen can help manage fever and alleviate chills. Keep hydrated and get plenty of rest to allow your body to recover.
If chills persist or are accompanied by other concerning symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, or shortness of breath, it’s essential to seek medical attention, as this could be a sign of a more severe infection or another underlying issue. (15)
