Hello, I understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query. In my opinion you should test your self for parasites found in your locations locally. I mean to say malaria, trypanosoma etc. Your feature is suggestive of some parasites on you. As parasites come out there is fever. And as they go inside it is chills. Once the diagnosis is established you can take the treatment accordingly. Till you diagnose yourself you can use paracetamol for fever and chills episode under your doctors' guidance. I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor.  Thank you. ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist.
