Suggest Treatment For Fever Along With Cold?

I am a 34 year old female in generally good health and average height and weight. I started with cold Sx on Sunday morning and progressed through the cold as expected as I have in the past. However, I developed a low grade fever of 99.0-99.7 over the last 24 hours. I ve never noticed a fever with a cold before and was wondering if this is normal? Ears feel itchy but otherwise clear (Hx of ear infections so I am hyper aware of what an ear infection feels like), nose is slightly runny/stuffy, lungs are clear, slight productive cough with clear mucous, throat is itchy due to post nasal drip.

Thete is no need to take any antibiotic for this.
Treatment involves....
Steam inhalation 2-3 times a day
Drinking hot liquids

Putting nasal decongestant drops like OTRIVIN for few days,if nose is blocked.
Paracetamol tablet if you are having fever or bodyache.
Thanks
