Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

Fever with chills and rigor , I would come up with these possibilities

1 Urinary tract infection as this is most common cause of fever with chills and rigor . Diagnosis can be confirmed by urine culture and sensitivity test . Also get in ultrasound of both kidneys.

2 TYPHOID fever is another such fever which causes low grade fever with morning chills . Diagnosis can be confirmed by Widal test.

3 Tuberculosis , diagnosis can be confirmed by X ray chest pa view as well as blood for C B C and E S R.

However there are so many other causes of such fever as anemia , HIV.
So consult another physician and get his opinion.
Thank you.
