Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having viral infection.
It remains for few days and with the time it will be subsided.
Along with fever medicine take some decongestant.
Take rest and take plenty of water and liquids.
Take light diet.
If fever persisted for long time go for some blood work to find out the cause of fever.
Ok and take care.
