Cold, Fever And Congestion. Fearing Allergic Reaction Want To Avoid Medications. Other Treatments?
I am an 18 year old female and i started feeling like I was getting a cold Monday afternoon. Tuesday I started sneezing and getting a runny nose. Wednesday I was more congested and was coughing, my fever got up to 99.6. Tonight my fever is 101. I am wondering what I can do besides take medication for my fever because I have anxiety and I am afraid to take meds because I am afraid I will have an allergic reaction. PLEASE HELP!
Hi, From history it seems that you might be having viral infection. Take analgesic with decongestant tablet as and when required for 2-3 days. These medicines have no side effects. take plenty of water. take rest. Ok and take care.
