Brief Answer:
CT scan of the chest and abdomen and a blood culture sensitivity test.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
After hearing your history, I would advise you to do CT scan of chest and abdomen. Since you have chills and sweat also, you need to do a blood culture sensitivity test.
If any bacteria is found in the blood then it has to be treated with sensitive antibiotics.
Hope I have answered your query.
