Answers:
Kinda sounds like heat stroke to me. You both need to see a doctor and until then, put ice packs on your skin and drink water. Look at this website - it'll tell you what's going on and help you decide what to do.

Other Answers:
the lack of moisture in the body could have something to do with it. shivering is a compensating action the body does involuntarily. Dehydration, optic sensitivity to the light and skin irritations all play a part

Usually when you get that sunburned, you're also suffering from heat exhaustion or dehydration because you've been out in the sun so long and your body is upset at having been burned so badly. Drink a lot of water, rest for awhile, and put aloe on the sunburn; then remember not to stay in the sun too long, use high SPF sunblock, reapply, and if you have to stay out, drink as much water as you can. Sun poisoning.. thats what happens when you burn.

Your body has a tempeture regulator and when u get sun burnt you have pretty much absorbed all the heat from the sun, throwing your body temp regulator off balance.

So in response your body starts to defend it self like when you get a fever.

It's like getting in a bad car accident to your body. A bad sunburn is a major injury and your body is struggling to fix all the damage. You will need a lot of rest.
