See a doctor: Fever and chills for this long is not a good sign, as most minor viruses will have there course within 5-7 days, but it will take more history taking and a thorough exam to narrow down the possibilities. This appears to be a viral or other type of infection, but a good H & P with your regular doctor, or at an urgent care center, should bring more light on the subject. See a doctor immediately
