Could be signs of malaria as the fever is accompanied by shivering.. also everytime the temperature is around the same slightly above or below 102degrees. Pls advise
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have high fever and shivering since 2-3 days which is something you should be worried about. Possible causes for this fever are viral infection, yes it could be due to malaria and urinary tract infection as well. I would suggest you to visit general physician once and get CBC, ESR, chest x-ray and sputum examination and apart from that go for complete urine culture examination done. Till then take antiviral such as Acyclovir with Ibuprofen and anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor.  It could be due to coinfection with bacteria as well so take antibiotic such as Levofloxacin as well.
