Hi,
I would advise you to check your thermometer. If he was hot enough to touch along with chills then I think it is fever with chills and rigor. Please get him investigated for causes, of fever if it happens again, with your treating doctor. There are specific causes for fever with chills.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
