What Causes Fever And Chills?

My husband has been suffering from fever then chills accompanied with irritated hair follicles. He also now is experiencing pain in his kidneys or nearby area. This is the third time it has occurred with a space of from one and two weeks between. He also has a lack of appetite. Any thoughts?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Fever with chills, pain at kidney are more suggestive of kidney stone or urinary tract infection (UTI).
So better to consult doctor and get done ultrasound examination of kidneys and urinary microscopic examination.
He will need antibiotics, plenty of fluids orally and barley water.
Don't worry, he will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your husband. Thanks.
