Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query your son have symptoms of shivering in body after a fever which is due to viral infection of body due to poor and compromised immunity of body. Need not to worry as it is a self limiting condition. Give child Paracetamol at mild dose every 4-6 hrly. You should give child multivitamins tablets. Give child proper rest. You can give child Tylenol as well. If this medicine will not give desired effect you should give Meftal P to your child. Symptoms will resolve its own in 3-4 days. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit Pediatrician once and get blood tests done and go for through examination and start treatment.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
