Could you help me understand the situation better or suggest any next steps?

I'm really worried because it's been 34 days since I got bitten by a stray dog, and the dog's still alive. Does that definitely mean it wasn't carrying or spreading the rabies virus when it bit me?
If the stray dog that bit you is still alive after 34 days, it significantly reduces the likelihood that the dog was shedding rabies virus at the time of the bite, as dogs typically die within 3-14 days after showing symptoms of rabies, but it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional or local animal control for further guidance and to determine if post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is still necessary.

I've been having these weird episodes where I suddenly start shivering, and my body temperature drops. But then, not long after, the shivering stops, and my temperature goes up really high. It's confusing and a bit worrying. What could be causing this, and how concerned should I be?
history not enough to make a diagnosis consult your doctor
