Which symptom is described as shaking, off and on, or feeling cold?

• A. Fever
• B. Chills
• C. Appetite Change
• D. Discharge

Answer: (B)

Shills describe episodes of shaking and a sensation of cold that occur when the body’s temperature is rising during infection. The body increases heat production through muscle activity, which makes you feel cold and start shaking. This is the classic sign labeled as chills. Fever is just a high body temperature and may follow chills, but the symptom described—shaking and feeling cold—points to chills. Appetite change and discharge refer to different issues and don’t describe this temperature-related experience.
