Hi
Welcome to the healthcaremagic
No.Viral infection will take its time.Normally 48-72 hours for the fever to come down.For virus there are no antiviral medicines. By maintaining good hydration,good nutrition and by taking adequate rest and not taking unnecessary antibiotics viral infection can cure fast.
Happy to help you
Best regards
