Does Indoor Mold Cause Cold, Fever And Congestion?

I recently discovered a severe hot water tank leak, that probably started months ago, the ins co has come in , removed wet portions of wall board, replaced water tank, removed some carpet and vinyl floor covering, and will replace floor covering. But, I still have the cold/ fever/congestion symptons. Is this from the mold I actually saw on underside of carpet and the walls? What do I do to get healthy enough to go back to work?

HI
Well come to HCM
This is could be allergic condition here the underlying cause is not that much matter because it did the job, you can wait for some time because this is self limiting condition and most of the time comes around on its own, rarely needs some anti-histamine and the best option would be Tab Chlorpheniramine maleate, and Acetaminophen can be taken three times in day, hope this information helps, take care.
