Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You child is having high grade fever with chills. Mostly, it will be a viral fever and in that high grade fever can occur. Symptomatic management done for that Paracetamol SOS can be prescribed for fever.
If you need paracetamol injection can also be prescribed.
Your CBC gas to be done first to check lymphocytosis or neutrophilia if present.
Take care
Hope this will help you
