Hi.
As per your case history you may be having a viral infection leading to symptoms of chills, headache and itchy palms.
My treatment advice is -
1. Drink plenty of water and take food rich in vitamin c.
2. Don't stop eating. It will only worsen the condition.
3. Take a NSAID like ibuprofen for headache and antihistamine like levocetrizine for itching. Apply calamine lotion on itchy areas.

If condition persists then consult a dermatologist.

Thanks.
