[|Human|] Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ?  Please type your query here...my husband had almost an hour of severe shivering followed by fever a few hours ago. The online nurse told him to take a panadol and drink fluids. What else should I do. He has been having amoxicilline for a prolonged period because of a throat infection.
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for writing in to Chat Doctor. I understand your problem and will try my best to help you out. During fever, the body white blood cells fight against the antigens and thus leading to increase in body temperature. After this phase the wearing starts as a normal body mechanism to bring down the body temperature and thus even shivering occurs. Panadol consists of acetaminophen which acts as an antipyretic and analgesic hence used in treating fever. Donot worry make him take lots of fluids and medications. The fever will be controlled. Since your husband is on amoxicillin for prolonged period kindly consult your doctor if higher antibiotics need to be given if the infection is not getting cured with this. Hope this answered your query. Get well soon. Chat Doctor.
