Provide reports and clinical details

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Sweating with shivering and fever may be due to infection like urinary tract infection, malaria, tuberculosis (less likely).
You need to provide more details like actual fever record, duration, associated nausea, vomiting, cough, urinary burning. Any previous disease.?
why given steroids?
Upload all investigations done for assessment and need for additional investigations.
Take antipyretic and antibiotics if required.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
