Influenza virus is one of the most common cause of fever and cold. Normally, an episode of cold and fever subsides within 3-4 days or maximum a week. Such fever and cold do not need any antibiotic treatment. Those suffering from symptoms of cold can resort to steam inhalation and medicines such as allegra and sinarest to get relief. If fever shows no sign of abating, even after 4-5 days, there might be an underlying infection. In such cases, further investigation by a general physician is very much necessary.
