Get a consult: C-reactive protein is not appropriate to rule out strep throat (my major concern) or infectious mono (for shock antibiotics are not indicated). Chills are even more concerning. Without a diagnosis after a week, get with a physician who is sensible enough not to base a diagnosis of someone who may be seriously sick on a famously unreliable lab test.
