Suggest Treatment For Severe Fever And Nausea

For the last 6 days I have had severe chills/fever keeping me in bed most of the time. I have moments that I feel better, but it always goes away No chills the last couple nights. Have not been able to eat hardly at all the entire time. No nausea/vomitting, just can t eat. Worked the last month and a half in a place where there have been ticks, did get bit some? Last bite I know of was maybe 3 weeks ago? Severe chills and everything else seems worse late evening/night
