I have had a cold for the last 8 to 9 days, with sometimes fever and headache. I was taking Allegra 120 at night, but today my condition feels worse, and I even did a CBC blood test. What should I do now, and is there any other medicine I can take?

Have a query?

Allegra 120 is an antihistamine used mainly to relieve allergy symptoms, not to treat colds or infections.
Having a cold for 8 to 9 days with fever and headache that worsens may suggest a bacterial infection or another complication beyond a simple viral cold.
A Complete Blood Count (CBC) test can help detect infection or inflammation, but the results need to be reviewed by a doctor to understand what they mean for your condition.
You should see a doctor promptly for a thorough evaluation. They can determine if you need antibiotics or other treatments based on your symptoms and test results.
Avoid taking any new medicines, especially antibiotics or stronger drugs, without medical advice, as inappropriate use can cause harm.
If you want, I can explain more about how allergies differ from infections or about CBC test interpretation. Please consult a doctor soon for personalized care.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.Please tell me your age and gender.
