probably fever

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

it sounds like your temperature is rising. Chills commonly accompany the rising temperature. Please do check with a thermometer if you haven't done so already.

The rest of your symptoms are important in order to form a differential diagnosis. If you'd like to keep me posted, I'll be glad to comment more on your case.

Kind Regards!
