I'm dealing with a mild cold and cough, and I had a fever yesterday. The local doctor prescribed me Lizolid, but the pharmacy gave me Linezolid instead. I'm wondering if they are the same thing. Could you help me out here?

Last night, I suddenly experienced a strong shaking chill that lasted for about 3 to 4 minutes. It was pretty intense and I'm a bit concerned about what might have caused it. Could it be something serious or is it just a one-time thing? Would love to hear your thoughts on what might have happened and if I should take any precautions or seek medical advice.

Question

Can you tell me what the Widal test is? The doctor wanted me to do this test because I had a continuous fever, but my malaria test was negative. The result came back as 1320, but I haven't been able to meet the doctor since the test. I took this test about two weeks ago. I'm not sure what this means.
