Brief Answer:
Taking paracetamol or acetaminophen should help.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
Most often such symptoms occur due to certain viral infections. Taking paracetamol or acetaminophen will help in bringing down the temperature and should also relieve the headache. Be patient as the fever and other symptoms may last 3-7 days.
In case you have chills and rigors or if you are living in a malaria endemic region, you should get your blood tested and should visit a doctor for further evaluation.
Let me know if I could help further.
