Infectious Diseases Specialist, Dr. Praveen G's Response
Hello, Welcome to HCM,
Fever and chills are the protective mechanism of the body towards the infection in the body.
Body will respond to the infection by releasing the mediators. As you are confirmed to have typhoid for which your doctor has advised the medications.
As you are getting shivering even after the treatment. The temp should be recorded regularly and the blood investigation is required, because the typhoid infection may be associated with viral infection which may produce these symptoms.
As you are taking tab paracetamol it will helps to control the symptoms.
I would suggest you to continue the same treatment, it will bring down all the symptoms. Thank you.
