CHILLS


Prevention of Chills

Children who have symptoms of a viral infection should not be given aspirin, because of the risk of Reye's syndrome.
Don't use ice water or rubbing alcohol to reduce a child's temperature. These can cause shock.
Don't bundle a feverish child in blankets.

Home Remedies for Chills

Mix some honey and lemon juice in a glass of hot water and sip.
Sponging with comfortably warm water may help in reducing a chills.
Rub a wet washcloth or towel over the child's body for 20 minutes or for as long as can be tolerated. Add warm water as needed to keep the water temperature the same, and keep the child from shivering.
