How Can Fever, Cough And Chest Congestion Be Treated?
Question, currently my wife has a fever (100.2), coughing, congestion, possibly a muscle strain from the coughing, and has the overwhelming feeling of being cold. Does it sound like the flu or something else? Should I treat it like the flu or just go ahead and take her to the ER since our Dr s office is closed?

Hi,
After reading your post, the symptoms you have mentioned seems to be due to Upper Respiratory Tract Infection. I would suggest that you should get her clinically examined and investigated by a doctor.
She may need an antipyretic like Paracetamol along with an antihistamine like Levocetirizine for symptomatic relief. Further medical management can be planned according to the clinical evaluation by your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
