Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What can we do for the chills? We have just returned from 3 weeks in Africa and have been on anti-malaria tablets and last week the Doctor said he ruled out malaria. Now we wonder if the chills and lack of energy could be due to a tick bite since he had Lymes disease a year ago with similar symptoms. No improvement in the week since we saw the doctor who is now gone for the week. What to do?
It may be due to tick associated diseases like tick fever or sometimes urinary tract infection can also present like this. As of now, you can take paracetamol tablets for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist, better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
