A strong chill or being cold when you shouldn’t be is a strong symptom of illness. Although you may experience chills with a high temperature, this isn’t necessarily the case. Strong cold feelings can last anywhere from a few minutes to an hour or more.Thankfully, dramatic changes in temperature are not common with these types of chills. The chills occur due to your muscles rapidly expanding and contracting, and only last for short periods. Like abdominal pain, chills will usually be caused by other symptoms like a temperature or being dehydrated. As long as other symptoms stay light and no medical attention is necessary, then you should avoid heavy blankets or clothing to cut the risk of increased temperatures.Next
