I've had a fever for the past three days, with my temperature fluctuating between 98.6 and 102. I get really cold in the evenings, probably because of the sweating, and I'm worried it's making the fever worse since I don't change my shirt soon enough. I don't have any body, joint, or muscle pain, but my nose is a bit runny and my throat hurts slightly. Could this be something serious, or is there anything specific I should do to get better quickly?

Your symptoms, including fever, sweating, chills, runny nose, and slight throat pain, suggest a possible viral upper respiratory tract infection, such as a common cold or flu; however, to rule out other causes like bacterial infections or pneumonia, consider consulting a doctor for a physical examination, and possibly, a rapid antigen test or chest X-ray.
