If fever continues despite Paracetamol, you can take paracetamol every 6 hours and add an antihistamine and steam inhalation for cold relief. If the fever is high or lasts more than 2-3 days, you may need a doctor's checkup to rule out a bacterial infection and start the right treatment.

Continue Current Medication:
- Keep taking Paracetamol as directed for fever reduction.

Additional Recommendations:

- Rest: Ensure adequate rest to support recovery.
Monitor Symptoms:
- If fever persists beyond 7 days or worsens, seek medical attention.
- Watch for new symptoms like difficulty breathing or severe headache.
Avoid Self-Medicating:
- Do not add other fever reducers like ibuprofen without consulting a healthcare provider.
If symptoms do not improve or worsen, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
