General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The symptoms seem to be related to a cold or flu.
Chills may occur at the start of an infection.
They are most often associated with a fever. 
Chills are caused by rapid muscle contraction and relaxation. They are the body's way of producing heat when it feels cold.
So,I suggest a warm shower and anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
