My husband has been experience a recurring chills and body aches following a three day fever and flu he had while we were on vacation in France last week. Many members of the group on board the ship experience the same flu. We have a doctor s appointment for Monday and he is currently taking a generic tylonal product. Is there anything else we should be doing?
Helldiver with chills may be due to many possibilities but in your husband case may be due to upper respiratory infection due to any type of the virus including flu. Fever (en masse i.e. most of the members in troop) with chills and generalized body ache is a common fever. Usually the course of this type of fever is 5-10 days and Tylenol is the best medicine beside rest. So wait for next 3-5 days. Still no relief then consult a physician and get his opinion. Good luck.
