Brief Answer:
Relax. Take a blood test. Take the right medicines and get better quickly.
Detailed Answer:
Hi!
I suspect a protozoal infection, given the nature of your fevers and chills.
We live in a tropical zone that makes such infections very common indeed.
Kindly get examined by a local doctor. Then take a blood test. This will determine exactly what you are suffering from. Then, you can be given medicines that target only the germs that are responsible for this problem. You need to take these medicines on time, as instructed, without fail, for best results. Tablets like DOLO will only bring down the symptoms of fever. This will not help you greatly, that is why you need to repeatedly take it. Feel free to ask for any clarifications.
Take care,
Get better soon.
