At this stage of the febrile response, the patient's body temperature would be rising. This typically occurs during the chill or shivering phase, and would be accompanied by goose pimples, feeling cold, and shaking. Flushing of the skin and relief of muscle aching and fatigue are not typically seen at this stage, and decreasing blood pressure may occur later in the febrile response.
