Probably OK, but...: The conditions related with chill and night sweating are benign although such may result from: bacterial or viral infection, drug use, hormonal imbalance from natural causes or drug uses, etc. But, it is still helpful to collect the feature, degree, and progress over time with its detailed sequence of event so you may timely bring them to see doctor for analysis, history, physicals, and tests...

Multiple symptoms: Its always ok to get a second opinion and its hard to comment without seeing the images and reports in the interim stick with the current recommended treatment and see if it improves
