Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having ingrown hair follicle infection and now forming abscess.
Having symptoms of malaria type like fever, malaise, chills might be due to this infection.
You might require still higher antibiotic medicine to cure this infection after consulting your Obst.
Take some anti-inflammatory medicine as well.
Ok and take care.
I find this answer helpful
