See below: It's not possible to tell from the information provided if you may have a mild viral illness(common cold) or a more serious infection. See a physician for fever over 103F or if 101-102.9 for more than 2 days, or If not feeling better after several days, or sooner if feeling worse. Tylenol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen for comfort.
