Brief Answer:
Symptomatic treatment is required for common cold.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

If you have only fever and cold you can take the paracetamol tablet for fever and chlorpheniramine and phenylephrine for cold under your doctors guidance.

You can also apply vicks balm under chest over head and nose.

There is no need to take any antibiotics as common cold and fever is of viral origin and will gradually gets better once you take the symptomatic treatment.

I will be happy to answer your further concern here or you can ask me personlly on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
