See below: It sounds like you are describing fever/chills which usually is sign of some sort of infection. If you are concerned re dengue go see doctor ASAP. With the temperature cycling you are describing and concern for dengue I would advise you be seen as soon as able

Seasonal flu: is very common viral infection. Usually the condition resolves on its own with home care. Drink water and get a good rest. NSAIDs (e.g.Aleve) are also recommended every 6 hours. If concerned, see your PCP for reevaluation.
