Suggest Treatment For Severe Chills And Hand Tremors

My husband has been experiencing severe shaking, chills for several days now. He is freezing and shaking. The only relief he has is taking advil every couple of hours. After his shaking, he will start to perspire like crazy. He calls them severe chills. The doctor called in a Z pack that he has been on for two days. He cannot stop these chills. This has been going onto the fourth day now.
