What Causes Recurring Low Grade Fever And Chills Along With Headaches?
I am suffering chronic recurring low grade fever and chills, accompanied by muscle and headaches, as well as fatigue. I have had this symptoms for several months. Antibiotics have helped lower the fever but not eliminate it. The chills occur early in the day lasting until 11am to 2 pm, then my temperature rises to between 99 and 100 degrees.
