What Causes Persistent Fever With Alternating Chills And Sweating?
Hi, I ve had fever 6 days now. It alternates between shivering/ chills and profuse sweating, mostly at night. First 3 days, it alternated every 4 hours. I got WBC yesterday and it said 31.8. Xray read atherosclerotic aorta. No urinalysis as I got my period. Past 3 days got tummy aches and just took dicycloverin. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hello,
WBC are very high. It usually indicates the presence of an infection in the system. So, I suggest to do a urine test to help through the diagnosis. I recommend to start a cycle of antibiotics which should be taken on prescription. I recommend to use anti inflammatory medication to treat the chills such as Acetominophen 500 mg three times a day.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
