Fever and cough

Asked for Male, 35 Years

I've been have temperature and body pain since Tuesday. And my doctor has advised few tabs for the same. His diagnosis is that I might be having URTI. And not advised to take any blood test. However I'd like to take one to be on safer side. Please advise which one to take up for a possible viral fever and do I need a prescription for getting a blood test? Thanks in advance/Ravindran
