Cough/fever?: Please stay at home and avoid contact with others for one more day at least. If there is a fever, remain at home for at least three days after the fever is gone. At this point, if you are otherwise healthy, cover your cough, monitor your temperature and please stay home. Watch for signs of secondary infection, including fever, worsening cough and shortness of breath.

Agree with Dr. D: Stay hydrated and watch for breathing difficulty. If you have difficulty breathing, call your doctor immediately or go the the hospital. Wish you good heath!
