sounds like coming down with a cold. When an infection is brewing your body's resources go to fighting the infection and that's what generally causes the shivers and goosebumps. You did the right thing, rest is important. But do keep warm, even if it feels uncomfortably hot, your body's little furnace is trying to fight whatever infection you have, and if you keep it going hot it will work more effectively. The mistake people often make is trying to cool their bodies when it gets too hot while fighting an infection. That makes the body try to work harder and can result in a higher fever and lengthening the healing process.
