Hello and welcome to HCM,
Viral infections are self limiting and take 7-10 days for resolution.
Symptomatic treatment has to be given during the course of infection.
Anti-pyretics (paracetamol), cold sponges if fever goes too high and painkiller for body aches.
Take light fresh cooked food, plenty of fluids and maintain good nutrition & hydration.
Thanks and take care
