What Causes Recurring Fever, Chills And Weakness?

I am absolutely fed up with my reoccurring fever, chills, and feeling of weakness. I am 19 years old, and feel as if i am constantly getting sick. For the past month or so, i have been having a reoccurring fever with chills and weakness and an occasional soar throat. I felt better for a day or so, and now it is back. I was tested for strep and it came back negative, and my dr sent me home with allergy medicine, which really is not what i feel i needed. I get enough sleep, excersize, and i at healthy, so i am really curious why I keep feeling this way. I am scared, and assuming the worst, I would really just like a second opinion at this point.

Hello
You are having fever , chills weakness and sore throat for one months and recurring .
These symptoms may be due to these possibilities , these include.
1 Typhoid fever , diagnosis can be confirmed by Widal test and serology test.
2 Malaria , is another reason of such type of fever , if it is untreated , resistant and neglected.
3 Tuberculosis , diagnosis can be confirmed by tuberculin test , with X ray chest and blood for CBC, ESR ( if very high , suggestive of some chronic infection.
However, there are so many other reasons of such fever like URINARY tract infection ( urine examination ) , anemia ( hemoglobin examination ), jaundice ( hepatitis).
In my opinion consult another physician and get his opinion (2nd one ).
Hope for good.
