Is There Something Else I Should Do Apart From Herbal Tea And Advil For Chills?

My son is 21 years old. This evening around 11pm he started to have chills. I have him herbal tea with honey and advil and he seemed better. Woke up with same symptoms 4 hours later and gave the same two things. Is there something else I should do. Also this evening he was not very hungry and had a large loose stool. Thanks for any suggestions

Hi,

He may be suffering from acute viral fever or malaria or enteric fever. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Use tablet Paracetamol and tablet Pantoprazole.

Drink plenty of liquids and take rest. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor, he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
