Fever and cough
I am having fever (between 100 and 101 °F) and cough since Tuesday. I took only Crocin and a cough syrup till Thursday. The fever used to fall back but then again go up. Since Friday I am also taking an antibiotic Cefixime. Today the fever was between 99 and 101°F. I don't have any body pain which I had in the earlier stages.

Continue Crocin SOS for fever. Other fever medicines are not recommended in viral fever as they can cause complications. Rest and oral fluids are important for recovery.
