For a fever of 101-102 degrees Fahrenheit and body aches, you can take Paracetamol (Acetaminophen) 500mg to 650mg every 4 to 6 hours as needed, up to a maximum of 4,000mg in 24 hours. Alternatively, Ibuprofen 400mg can be taken with food every 6 hours. These medicines will help reduce both the fever and body pain. Please ensure you stay well-hydrated and get plenty of rest. If your fever persists for more than 3 days, worsens, or if you experience severe symptoms like shortness of breath or a stiff neck, please consult a doctor immediately for a proper diagnosis.

What medications can I take for a common cold, pain in the throat when swallowing, and a mild fever of 100 degrees Fahrenheit?

For your mild fever and sore throat, you can take paracetamol or ibuprofen to help reduce the temperature and ease the pain when swallowing. For cold symptoms, a saline nasal spray can clear congestion, and over-the-counter throat lozenges or warm salt water gargles can soothe throat irritation. Please rest and stay well-hydrated with warm fluids. Since your fever is mild, these simple measures should help you feel better soon. If your fever rises significantly, or if your symptoms worsen or persist beyond a week, please consult a doctor for a physical examination.
