What Causes Fever With Chills And Sweating?
Hi. My name is Geoff. 23. M. Since yesterday afternoon I have had an elevated temperature. Going between 99 and 100.2. I have taken some acetaminophen only once it goes past 100. Once yesterday and once today. I took some non-aspirin Tylenol generic yesterday around 6:30/7pm. And I took some Goody s acetaminophen with aspirin today around 2:30/3pm. Get the occasional sweat or chill. But doesn t usually last long. Mouth is also a little dry and seem to have a little extra saliva build up too (spitting more than usual). Trying to figure out if I should go to the doctor or wait it out.

low grade fever with chills could mean a bladder infection. I would suggest a urine examination. It could also be a viral fever like dengue in which case you could wait for 5 days before doing blood counts unless new symptoms develop.
