Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have body pain and chills caused by virus infection and due to poor immunity of body. Need not worry. II would suggest you to take few preventive measures and along with that you should take antiallergic medication such as Levocetrizine and proper course of antiviral medication for 5 days to suppress infection. Avoid intake of cold beverages and spicy, sharp and oily food. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should go for throat swab test as well and start treatment after proper diagnosis. You should take muscle relaxant as well.  Chat Doctor. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
