Monitor symptoms: fever and chills symptoms suggest an infection. Tylenol (acetaminophen) /ibuprofen will work for a limited period of time. Many symptoms that people associate with a cold are viral in origin. The symptoms will usually be self-limited over 2 to 4 days. Drink plenty of fluids even if you're not hungry. Have a very low threshold for going to see your healthcare provider if your symptoms are persisting.
