Suggest Remedy For Runny Nose And Fever

All of a sudden, I have a serious runny nose. Temp is up from my normal. Usually it's 96.something. Now it's 98.5. I feel tired. I was told by someone that I look exhausted. I usually have a lot of pep. I am 84.6.
I have been taking Benadryl for allergies. Do I take more?
Thanks,
Terrie

Hello dear!
I have gone through your medical history and understand your concerns!
Thank you for using healthcaremagic.
Runny nose with high temperature indicates an upper respiratory tract infection. It may be due to a viral or a bacterial pathogen. To determine that I would like to know some more additional information.
Have you cough? What color are the secretions draining from your nose?
Is your throat sore?
If you have just runny nose with white or watery secretions, fevers and weakness it is more likely to be a viral condition.
If you have sore throat too, yellow, or dark secretions, cough, it may be complicated to a bacterial infection and requires antibiotics.
Anyway I would suggest you a simple analysis to get done that is called "complete blood count" to get more details.
Just control your fevers with anti fevers drugs, like acetaminophen or ibuprofen, take vitamins and a lot of liquids until the analysis results come out. Have a light and balanced diet.

Please feel free to ask again if you have any further questions. I would be happy to answer. Please kindly write a short review about this experience with me!
I hope you will be fine soon!
sincerely,
DR ERIOL.
