What Can Cause Chills Along With Fever And Body Ache?
Okay out of nowhere I developed chills where I was so cold I couldn t get warm and was shaking out of control then about an hour later I developed a fever of a hundred and two now my whole body hurts... I do have a boil that I ve had for years that fills up every now and then but it was not read at the time nor did it hurt I m just wondering if this was caused by the boil or if I actually came down with the flu the boil eventually drained last night but I still feel very weak and tired so which do you think caused it I was leaning more towards the flu

Hi,
Your symptoms suggestive more towards viral flu. If your boil is bigger in size then need to be drained and antibiotic prescribed. You can be prescribed symptomatic management for flu. For fever antipyretic medication like Paracetamol SOS can be prescribed. I suggest you to get investigated with CBC for primary work up.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
