It sounds like a virus and it can last from 7-14 days. You need to take some kind of fever reducer like advil or tylenol. Drink clear liquids and juices, drink lots of chicken broth or noodle soup and try to prevent it from turning into a bacterial infection so you won't need to see a Dr. So, take care of yourself, get all the rest you can and keep the fever down. Get Vit. C and sweating is actually good for you...you can sweat out a fever. If it gets up to 104. See A Dr. Fevers tend to go up at night so be sure to have the meds ready during the night after 6-8 hrs. and eat some saltines and drink lots of liquid when you take it. You can try an antihistamine like benadryl at night for sleep and congestion or stuffy nose if that crops up. I hope you feel better soon. the common cold lasts 10-14 days. After that if you have a bad cough or temp. or congestion and yellow or green discharge from cough or nose, see the Dr. By the way the fever isn't alarming if you have a cold or the flu. Just get it down with medication and don't let it go above 104. If the meds bring it down, don't panic. If not get in a cool tub and then see a Dr. Good luck.

Reply:Sounds like Pneumonia. I had all those symptons when I had it. I was in the hospital a few days on air... Best to get it checked out. Your lungs could fail if you don't find help.
Reply:first, you have a fever.....which more than likely is caused by an infection in your body....try to get some antibiotics..... primarily amoxicillin. Its made for ear nose and throat type of infections... i would say 500mg every 12 hours or if you find 250mg bottle, then its every 8 hours......just make sure you're not allergic to penicillin...if you are then don't take it.....allergic reaction....hope it helps......but you definitely need something to kill the infection first, then you can treat the cause.....good luck...get well soon
