Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The sweat and chills are commonly related to a viral infection.
The bumps can be caused by enlarged lymph nodes due to the presence of an infection in the system.
I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the inflammation.
I also recommend to do a complete blood count for further evaluation.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
