I have had fever for the past 2 days along with cough. What should I do?

Asked by Male, 24 · 5 days ago

Fever with cough for 2 days is often due to a viral infection and usually improves with simple care. You can take adequate rest, drink plenty of fluids, and use Calpol for fever or body aches as needed. Warm fluids, steam inhalation, and saltwater gargles can help relieve cough and throat irritation. Avoid cold or heavy foods and keep yourself well hydrated. However, if your fever persists beyond 3-4 days, becomes high, or if you develop breathing difficulty, chest pain, or severe weakness, consult a doctor promptly for proper evaluation and treatment.
