A cold is a common and frequently occurring illness, and there is currently no specific treatment available. For now, it can only be managed symptomatically to allow it to gradually heal on its own.Fever is generally considered to be caused by infection. Pay attention to any symptoms or signs in the respiratory and digestive systems. You can go to the hospital to get a blood test and C-reactive protein test. Based on the test results, oral antibiotics or antiviral medications can be taken. Drink plenty of warm water. If the temperature is below 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered.
