Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Husband is taking Sulfa antibiotic for Prostate Infection which he started 11-2.16. on 11-3-16, he got his Flu shot. He has been having terrible chills ever since the flu shot and cannot get warm. No congestion, no headache, but skin is very touchy like the flu. And he cannot get warm. Has a fever or 101. He is at the doctor now. They are viewing for hepatitis. I am thinking a reaction to the antibiotics, which has these side affects. Could also be from a tick bite that he received within the month?
