Hi,
Welcome to HCM!
He is possible suffering from a viral infection. There is nothing to be worried about. If I were you doctor, I'd advice -
1. An anti pyretic (Paracetamol) to get relief from fever and body pains.
2. An anti histaminic (cetrizine) to get relief from cold.
3. Steam inhalation
4. Tepid body sponging - wet a cloth with cold water and wipe his entire body with it whenever he develops fever.

Being a viral infection, it will take 5-7 days to cure. HOwever these medications I've mentioned above will decrease his symptoms.

Also please note that in case he gets chills with fever, I'd advice you to get a Malaria test done if you reside in an endemic area.
Regards,
Dr. Sridhar Reddy
