Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
It looks like upper respiratory tract infection.
Paracetamol and Cetrizine syrups will help.
If no improvement you may consult your doctor on monday or even earlier according to need.
Tepid sponging will help in reducing temperature.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
