Suggest Treatment For Chills, Fever And Headache

This afternoon I was feeling fine when I started getting the chill. I took my temperature which rose to 103.7. No body aches sinus issues. I took some Motrin and my fever broke within three hours. No other symptoms I feel fine now. What could cause that?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Fever with chills and headache is commonly due to viral infection, Dengue and malaria.
So better to get done complete blood count (CBC) for the diagnosis of malaria and dengue.
If CBC is normal then no need to worry for dengue and malaria.
Sometimes simple viral infection can cause similar symptoms.
So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.
1. Avoid oily and spicy food. Avoid junk food.
2. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated.
3. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
4. Do warm water gargles 5-6 times a day.
5. Take sound sleep of 6-8 hours.
6. Start combination of anti pyretic and anti inflammatory drugs.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
