Hi there

Thanks for the query

If he's shivering and having high temperature it could be infection and sepsis. The safest thing to do is to go to the ED if his temperature does not settle with Paracetamol. Previous back pain and fever could be infection in the spine or discitis which needs to be evaluated.

I hope I have answered your query.

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.
