Dear user,
I really understand your concern.
Temperature 98.1 F is quite normal.
You said also that you have a stuffy nose and a slight cough, so this may be common cold or allergic rhinitis if you are exposed to allergens.
Use saline nasal solution 3 drops three times daily on each nostril, Tylenol tea every 4-6 hours and avoid allergens.
If you have shorteness of breath use ventolin 2-3 puffes on attacks.
Please see a doctor if you don't improve after two days.
All the best!
