Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I have read your query in detail. I understand your concern.
Usually viral fever takes 5-7 days for recovery.
I would advice you following:
1. To take Anti Allergic like Levocetrizine 5 mg once day.
2. Steam Inhalation.
3. Tab Paracetamol for fever.
4. If you get persistent fever, with sputum, you might require antibiotic therapy.
This is my best advise for you based on available details. If you have any further query please ask me..
Stay Healthy.
