Hi,

The common cause of fever are viruses and you need only symptomatic treatment. Antibiotics are not needed for viral fever.
You have to take antipyretics like paracetamol and take plenty of fluids and rest, that should be enough.
Viral fever usually lasts for 5 to 7 days. If the fever lasts longer than a week than you should go for few investigations like Complete blood picture, ps for MP, typhoid should be ruled out.
So I advise you to see a doctor if fever persists.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
