my 68 year old husband is experiencing fever and chills. He has been feeling pressure on chest for two weeks, although it is better right now. he was given a prescription for tessalon pearls and a bronchial inhaler. he went to doctor and hospital yesterday. they did x-rays and blood tests. the x-rays were negative at a local clinic; they sent him to local hospital. he has had fever and chills all night. he has a lack of appetite. he had cream of wheat at 9 am. he couldn t eat at 1 pm because he was shaking so much. that was 4 hours ago. he still hasn t had anything to eat since the cereal. he took two acetaminophen 4 hours ago. he is still warm but not as hot as yesterday. two weeks ago he was bitten by a spider. he refuses to go back to the doctor and I have a nurse friend who is giving me dire information about endocarditis infection or blood infection causing the shakes. I am not sure what to think. Marilyn
