Brief Answer:
You should take either metacin or dolo

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You seem to be having a viral infection that subsides by itself within few days. Meanwhile you may take rest, and take medicine according to symptoms. For example if fever is more than 102 then metacin or dolo may be taken. If runny nose is there then an anti-allergic can be taken. Drink lots of fluids. Warm fluids are also soothing.
If fever doesnot subside in 5 days then a complete blood count test can be done.

Metacin and dolo are same medicine. So take one of them only.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
