Hello welcome to HCM. You are taking a tablet which is cough suppressant, and reduces the mucous secretion. But you have not treated the cause. There is fever and you have got mucous. you have given incomplete description about the mucous. if the mucous is yellowish , then there is infection which is the cause for your fever,. it will come down only with proper antibiotic. If the mucous colour is normal, The because of stress of coughing there could be fever. You should take proper expectorant syrup which will bring out the secretion. As the secretion decreases the cough also comes down after 3-4 days. You should also take steam inhalation 3-4 times a day to soothen the tract. Please take advice from the physician and go ahead with the proper treatement
