: If I knew why you are taking propranolol I could answer better. If you are playing Dr stop. One response to fever is to increase heart rate which is likely a healthy response and slowing this normal response may be harmful. I would wait as most colds get better in 14 days but some take 2 weeks. ;-) Dr humor.
