Suggest Remedy For Low Back Pain With Fever & Chills

My truck driving husband, 67 yrs old has been having trouble with his lower back like he has for yrs. The last few days he's feeling weak, achy all over and can't seem to get enough sleep. Hasn't been in contact with anyone sick lately. He also runs a low grade fever and gets chills to the point that he just shivers all over. What do you think might be going on? It isn't easy getting in to see a Dr. out here on the road.
