I have had a fever of 101F along with symptoms of a cold since the first day. What treatment should I follow?

Asked by Male, 22 · 8 days ago

A fever of 101F with cold symptoms is usually due to a viral infection and often improves in a few days with proper care. Take plenty of rest, drink fluids like water, soups, and warm drinks, and eat light food. You can take Paracetamol to reduce fever and body pain, and do steam inhalation to relieve nasal congestion. Avoid cold foods and stay warm.
