What Are The Common Causes Of Severe Chills?
I have been having fever and chills since yesterday. I am taking Ibuprofen 800, vicodin and flexerill. I didn't have a fever when I was at the dr yesterday morning. The chills that I am getting are body racking chills. I have been on the ibuprofen 800 for sometime now. Could I be having some sort of reaction to it?

Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I have read your query in detail. I understand your concern.
Fever with chills can be due to:
1. Malaria
2. Urinary tract infection.
3. Hemogram
Till then don't take Ibuprofen.
Take Paracetamol 650 mg thrice a day and do cold sponging.
This is my best opinion for you based on available details. If you have any further query please.
Stay Healthy.
