Hello and thank you for your question. Viral syndromes usually do not cause high fevers and shivering. It is more likely that she has a bacterial infection. She needs to see a doctor to find out the cause of the infection so that she can be treated. Bacterial infections often needs antibiotics to be cured Regards
