Suggest Treatment For Persistent Fever And Coughs

Hello Dr. Rynne. I have had fever ranging between !00.5-103.5, for over 4 days. I have a respiratory infection- cannot keep from coughing fits. Aching body,Sharp headache, maybe from coughing so much? Also diarrhea. I feel too bad to even go to an Urgent Care! Do you think it s viral, or pneumonia? Thank You.
