Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you are having symptoms of cold chills with sweating which seems to be gastroenteritis such as viral fever or flu. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to drink plenty of fluids, have proper rest. Give child oral rehydrating solution as well. Your symptoms will resolve in 3-4 days. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit general physician once and get it examined and start treatment after proper examination and prescription. Go for blood tests such as W.B.C count as well as increased count will indicate infection in body. You should take anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to prevent fever and body-ache.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
