Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Fever can cause shivering leading to active muscle use.
2. This has increased the CPK levels. Not to bother.
3. Not to worry, it should come down. If there are other symptoms, then i can help you more. At present, if only fever, possibly viral, not to worry.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
