HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It would be best for him to be reviewed by his doctor to rule out infection..

Fatigue and chills are symptoms that can occur in an infection but additional symptoms would be needed to determine the exact source.

He should be seen as soon as possible.

I hope this helps
