Brief Answer:
No nee to do any thing more. You are good!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about these symptoms that you have reported. This is typical of an upper respiratory tract infection. Most are caused by viruses and there are no specific treatment regimens for them. The best approach is by managing symptoms: Fever and pains with Tylenol and blocked nostrils with regular flushing with saline. You have done all the right things. The fall in temperature means the response to treatment is great. You have not also reported any symptoms that require further evaluations and treatment adjustments.
For now, measure your temperature thrice daily. Eat healthy: Fruits, vegetables, and enough fluids. Rest and regular exercise will boost the system and accelerate healing. If anything abnormal sets in, then kindly report to me for evaluation and management/further recommendations.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Be relaxed and reassured you are doing just well.
