Brief Answer:
Urgent care for Injection Acetaminophen

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

This is termed as High grade fever, which is accompanied by chills and rigors. Generally we decide to inject Acetaminophen in such cases. This kind of fever is short lived depending on the pathogenesis.

I suggest you to see at an Urgent care who can deliver the injection.
