Brief Answer:
should be evaluated further

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM,

I have read your query,

Shivering and feeling cold could be symptoms of viral infection or some bacterial or parasitic infection which should be ruled out by complete physical examination with some relevant tests.

For that, I would suggest you to undergo routine blood counts with differential counts and blood test to rule out malaria, any other pathogen predominant in your region . You can see some local physician or your GP for that.

Also, I would like to ask if you have any history of fever or any other symptoms.

Meanwhile,you can continue to take Advil or Tylenol after some food for next 2-3 days with over the counter antihistamine like Tab. Cetirizine 10 mg twice daily for symptomatic relief.

Please let me know if you have any more questions.

Regards,

Dr.Sandip Kabra
