Hello and thanks for using HealthCareMagic.com
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
Chills are mostly related to infections, in your case, since the chills are located on one side of the head, an ear infection ( otitis media for example ) may be the culprit.
It is necessary to get evaluated by your primary care Doctor as the first step inn understanding better your condition.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care.

Brief Answer:
Other causes to be evaluated.
Detailed Answer:
Hello again.
An infection of the middle ear, or sinuses are among the common causes of your symptoms, however, since you seem to be sure that there is no infection, other causes should be considered.
Vascular malformations of the brain ( dural fistula for example ) may result in similar situations if it causes small bleeding.
I still think that you need to get examined as the first step by your Doctor who can order appropriate tests and consultations in order to get a correct diagnosis.
Hope this time I helped you.
Regards.
