Hi,

Shivering is due to fever. Check the fever by thermometer. And if very high like above 100°F, start sponging along with Brufen or Panadol syrup.

Fever with rigors and chills are mostly in malaria. But any high grade fever can cause chills. Start syrup Cefim and syrup Jardin D. Consult your physician for prescription. And go for malaria test, if it would be positive anti-malarial would be started.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Hina Javed
