What Causes Persistent Chills, Nausea And Cough?
Brief Answer:
Discussion follows
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
You probably have a respiratory infection which may be viral or bacterial. There is a diurnal variation in temperature and your temperature would be higher in the evenings than in the morning.
If you have yellow, green or rust colored sputum, you may be having a bacterial infection and you would require an antibiotic . If the sputum is clear and watery, you are more likely to have a viral infection and symptomatic treatment with paracetamol, cough syrup and antihistamines may be sufficient.
Make sure you consume plenty of fluids and healthy, wholesome food.
Do get back to me if you have further queries.
