I'm really concerned about my wife. She started having sudden shivering at night, and it's the third day of her monthly period. There's no fever, so I gave her hot milk and a 650 mg dose of paracetamol. I'm trying to understand what might be causing this. Could it be related to her period, or is there something else going on?

Shivering may be caused due to hormonal imbalance or dehydration and muscle cramps. It is advisable to get a blood test done for safety, but there should be no major cause for concern.
