Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I understand that you do not want to waste time, but you have to continue medications and take rest for faster recovery. I am suspecting viral fever which will reduce within a week to 10 days. Continue the fever medication, and you can take FedEx cough syrup two tips thrice daily for a week. This will control the cough and also remove phlegm. Bed rest is recommended. If your fever and cough does not reduce after three days, you need to get a chest X-ray to rule out lower respiratory tract infection. Thanks.
