Hello. Thank you for your question. Fever and cough could be caused by a viral illness, in which which case it will resolve on it's own after a few days. All that is needed is fluids, rest, and a fever reducer like acetaminophen. However, it could also be bacterial, like pneumonia. In this case, antibiotic is typically needed. I recommend you consult with your doctor so the correct diagnosis can be made and the appropriate treatment plan implemented.
