Suggest Treatment For Chills And Intermittent Fever

I have had flu like symptoms for the last 2 days.....chills, fever, but no sore throat. I am treating with aspirin and the temp keeps coming down only temporarily. I have sweated it out a few times and feel great for about 2 hours but then it returns....does this sound viral, bacteria or another type of infection
