Suggest treatment for body rigors and chills
Patient: Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ?  Please type your query here... I am a 23year old female. Today i got a very nasty sunburn. It feels like there are needles in the areas of my skin that were burned. Also i am freezing cold and shaking uncontrollably. I realize i may have some sort of sun poisoning or bad burn but i want to know- is it bad to layer on clothes and blankets to deal with how very cold i am? Doctor: The symptoms of body rigors and chills what you have mentioned are most probably indicative of malaria so I will advice you to do blood test for malarial parasite. For treatment you have to take antibiotics as suggested by your doctor along with tab calpol or tab akilos-p 8-12 hourly for fever and body-ache. You have to complete the course of chloroquine as per the advice of your doctor. For sunburn you can use Vaseline or any cream for local application.
