Suggest Treatment For Fever And Body Shivers

My son is 15 weighs about 100 pounds. He has had a small fever since yesterday afternoon of 99.3 We gave him some tylenol and he seemed to feel better. Now he has awakened with the 99.3 fever again but uncontrollable shaking as well. Should I give him some more tylenol and hope that it calms everything down?

Hi... fever with chills and rigors like this could be a sign of malaria. You can give tylenol in the appropriate dose every 4-6 hourly once. But I suggest that you take him to physician and get him evaluated as he is having fever with chills and rigors.
