Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
I would like to ask some more questions related to your chills like headache or post nasal drip.
If I were your treating Doctor for this case of chills with burning in throat, I would come up with two possibilities, these include:
1.Viral fever
2. Acute sinusitis- chills could be due to fever, sore throat could be due to infection of pharynx or post nasal drip(yellow mucus) from sinuses (sinusitis).
I suggest you to to consult ENT surgeon and get detailed ent examination to rule out sinus involvement. If necessary x ray paranasal sinuses. depending on the findings your treating doctor will decide the type and strength of antibiotics.
I suggest you to start steam inhalation, medications like paracetamol can be started as a reserved medicine for future chills and till you meet an ent surgeon.
Hope this answers your question, if you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
Wishing you good health.
