Hi. Your symptoms are suggestive of common cold. Fever usually lasts 3 days so you need to wait. Take Tablet Dolo 650 mg three times daily for 3 days and tablet cetrizine 10 mg once in the night for 5 days. Do steam inhalation thrice daily. It should settle.
Next Steps
If fever doesn't settle in 3 days, do the blood test CBC and show it to your doctor
