I have had a fever for the past three days. I?m currently taking paracetamol and think it may be due to a cold. Please advise.
A fever lasting more than three days may indicate an infection beyond a common cold, such as the flu or another viral or bacterial illness. Continue taking paracetamol as directed, stay well-hydrated, and get adequate rest. If the fever persists beyond 72 hours, rises above 102?F (38.9?C), or is accompanied by new symptoms such as a cough with phlegm, sore throat, or body aches, consult a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment.
