HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Based on the description, it is likely that you have the flu. Though the cough and cold and the flu would both cause fever, sore throat, cough, the cold is not normally associated with muscle aches and pain.

In general the symptoms last for 7 to 10 days. You should continue the paracetamol to help with the fever and pain. As an adult you can use 1000mg every 6 hours.

In addition, wearing cool clothing, drinks cool beverages, fan therapy and tepid sponging would help with the fever.

The cough syrup can be continued to help with any cough symptoms.

I hope this helps
