How Can Chronic Cough And Fever Be Treated?

Hi, I ve had a serious barking cough for 4 days now, with a slight 100.2 fever, my lungs hurt, eyes hurt, and I feel lousy. My nose is runny, but not completely clogged. Headache off and on. I m doing what I can, vaporizer, water, rest. I hate taking medications but I have done some Tylenol a few times. Is there anything else I should be doing? OTC medication?
