Hello Ma'am,
It is usually only recommended to see a doctor when the fever has been present for at least 4 days in adults (when flu-like symptoms are present).
In the meantime, rest, drinking plenty of water (to make secretions more fluid), using a product like Sinus Rinse™ twice a day, and taking Advil or Tylenol for aches and pains are recommended.
If the fever drops in less than 4 days, but the cough is still there in 3 weeks, you'll need to see a doctor.
It's virus season, and that may well be what's causing your symptoms right now. In such a case, time is your best ally 😊.
Happy day,
Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
