If you are doubtful about it then please visit a doctor. When there is fever, you can use cold application to reduce the temperature. You can wipe the whole body with cold water and put on the dress. Also give lots of fluids and water as there will be dehydration due to high temperature. Give light food which is freshly prepared. Measure the temperature every 4 hrs and maintain the data to show to the doctor. Kindly observe his behaviour and ask if he feels chilly. Seizures are not in control of the person but during shivering the person is aware of it and can talk and respond. So please be alert and inform accordingly.
