Hello
Welcome to HCM

There may be chest infections and so chills may due to or associated with your work. Immediately consult your doctor for lab tests and chest x ray for evaluation of proper cause. Also do your respiratory function tests.
Take levocetirizine 5 mg for allergy and cold twice a day.
Take paracetamol 650 mg 2-3 times a day for fever and headache.
Take other nasal decongestant medicine or inhaler.
Take steam inhalation 2-3 times a day.
Take plenty of fluids and proper rest for some days.
Take advises of your doctor for proper antibiotics.
Hope you will be alright.
Take care...
