My mother is 85 years old and began having a fender last night. Woke up crying and shaking had chills and body aches. Slept most of the day today although she felt much better. Exhausted from last night. Has begun having a low grade fervor tonight. Wondering if this sounds like the flu

Hi..Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...

As per her symptoms, She might be suffering from viral fever or flu. Fever, chills & body pain are very common. Following remedies can be done for fever, chills and body aches
1. Take anti-inflammatory medicine like acetaminophen/ibuprofen three times a day, It will reduce fever and body pain
2. If she is having any wheezing,rhinitis etc, she could also take cetrizine/ Benedryl.
3.Take warm liquid diet, drink plenty of water & Take rest.
