As per your symptoms, I feel you need to start your antibiotic course and for the same you need a prescription and I need to know the complete history because it won’t be wise from my side to prescribe you anything without prescription. So if you feel you can consult me right now for the same. Till then keep taking dolo for your fever and keep following the general measures which you are already taking
