Hello, Welcome to healthcaremagic.com And thanks for sharing your concern with us. High fever , shaking chills and sweating are hallmark feature of malaria and your present complaints are not suggestive of malaria . But if Malaria is on rise in your area then you can check for it . Your symptoms are suggestive of viral upper respiratory infection which is self limiting in 7 to 10 days . You should take only paracetamol for fever . Gargle with warm salt water . Take proper rest .If condition does not improve in 7 days or you feel more worse then consult your PCP and get blood test done . Best Regards, DR.S.TOMAR Best Regards, DR.S.TOMAR
