Reply To: Fever and chills hours after the injection

What you are describing sounds like the reaction that commonly follows the first dose of syphilis treatment. Fever, headache, aching, usually starting within hours and settling within about a day.

Importantly it is a reaction to the infection being killed off, not an allergy to the treatment. It gets confused for one constantly.
