Hello,
The chills and ache are normal symptoms of an infection.
In my opinion, they are not related to the use of Macrobid medications. I suggest to continue them as prescribed by your doctor. In case that you have other symptoms you may consult your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
