Chills vs seizure?: Headache and fever for three days warrents definite evaluation by a medical professional. Shaking could be for a variety of reasons If he is alert and looking at you, he may have a "chill" or a "shiver" from the fever. You should be able to stop this movement. If he is having rhythmic shaking movements and unconsious, then it could be a seizure In either case he needs evaluation now.
