It is quite common for viral symptoms to peak before they improve. Combiflam (which contains ibuprofen and paracetamol) and salt water gargles are excellent starting steps, but they can take 24 to 48 hours to show full effect. Please focus on resting and staying well-hydrated. However, if your fever remains high, you develop difficulty swallowing or breathing, or your symptoms continue to worsen over the next 24 hours, please consult a healthcare professional in person for a physical examination.
