Conservative: if you have had runny nose, cough, congestion, and eve low-grade fever for just a few days, it is probably just a simple cold, Colds are caused by viruses and usually go away after a few days. You do NOT need antibiotics, as they don't work for simple colds. Use saline nasal sprays, extra vitamin C, rest, lots of water, avoid dairy, avoid sugars, avoid caffeine. See doctor if not better in 10 days
