A member asked:

I have chills with low grade fever for the past week but i noticed that if i eat the fever start going away, any idea what it could be?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

No idea.: Fever has perhaps more than a thousand causes. As far as i know there is no disease in which the fever abates with eating.

No: But if you are having chills and fever for more than a week, suggest you go and see a doctor and get diagnosed and treated if necessary.
