Hello,
It seems you had an episode of viral fever which usually resolves in 5 to 7 days.
If you are still having fever you can take tab paracetamol. Rest and plenty of fluids are the only requirements to treat viral fever.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
