Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. In my opinion you should take him to the doctor and get done repeat chest x-ray to determine whether his chest infection is improving or worsening. Chest infection can cause both hypothermia and hyperthermia. And the way you are describing is hypothermia. And this can be the sign of chest infection. So better to be sure by chest x-ray. So take him to the doctor and get done chest x-ray.
