What you are describing could be the flu. The fever, headache, shivering, and body ache are all indicators. In such a case, hydration and other comfort measures such as temperature control, are important while the illness runs its course. However, if the symptoms persist for more than 2-3 days, I would consult your pediatrician to verify the diagnosis. The illness is self limited, but contagious. Precautions such as hand washing should be taken to prevent the spread of the virus.
